CREEK 0BH18

    Creek of Great Britain, is well known for hi value audio gear. The OBH18 is a very good example. The OBH18 is a fully discrete design featuring low noise and accurate equalization.

   The discrete circuitry produces a very detailed soundstage with lots of space around individual instruments. Midrange is especially clear and up front.

   The Creek OBH18 is easy to install. It can be placed anywhere and requires no attendance. It features a power switch and LED.

  The OBH18 is for Moving Magnet / Iron and hi output Moving Coil Cartridges cartridges.

   The OBH18 incorporates hand selected transistors for the lowest noise performance. It is a very quiet phono preamp.

   Internal voltage regulation effectively isolates the power supply for quiet hum free performance at any volume level.

The extruded enclosure shares a common "look" with other Creek products.

Choose the OBH18 for cartridges with outputs greater than 1.0 mV

   The really great features to take note of with the OBH18 is, I believe, the sound quality. The discrete design lets the designer optimize the circuitry and the result is alot of detail in the soundstage.

   One of the biggest let downs with phono stages is noise and hum. Phono stages must be quiet at normal and above normal listening levels. The Creek OBH18 is very quiet. If this is your first "better" phono stage, you will hear lots more detail and clarity in your music.

   The OBH18 shares the KAB tradition of true single ended Polar Stable design. This technique operates the circuitry in a constant state of preconditioning(often called Burn In). This ensures a very consistent sound quality that never waivers.
