OVERVIEW
The Eternum is no less than the pinnacle of linestage design; and it's not just a redesigned preamplifier.
The result of extensive research and development, the Eternum features a groundbreaking two chassis design. With two dedicated preamplifiers per channel, it forges a new standard for the true balanced amplifier.
This was one of the show’s best sounds, with a beguiling musicality. The speakers disappeared in every sense of the word; instrumental and vocal textures were lifelike, and the soundstage was fully expressed. I returned to this room several times, taken by the effortless musicality and depth of expression. Notably, while some exhibitors seek to impress showgoers with demo material that is more like sound effects, Absolare always chooses music that impresses with the power of the musical expression, not the sound.

Every aspect of the Eternum is carefully curated in the pursuit of sonic perfection,
Sparing no cost for the highest quality exotic components, with improved duelund copper silver cast capacitor design and echole infinity-grade alloy. It's performance is second to none in silence, harmonic resolution, and real world dynamic contrast. The Eternum is an unparalleled preamplifier a must have for realizing the true potentiall of any high-end audio system.
Through the early feedback of the opinion leaders, the performance is perceived to be second to none in silence, harmonic resolution, speed, low level articulation, real world dynamic contrast converging into a real world realism where the audiophile terms cease to exist, the calm yet real world dynamic presentation enables the truthfully scaled soundstafe, layering, pinpoint three dimensionality, and touchhable palpability starting for the deepest lows where the system components do completely disappear.
In short, a life-like performance that is yet to be witnessed. The initial feedback from the acclaimed opinion leaders is that the true potential of any higher end system will be
relevated with the eternum preamp's performance...
ETERNUM PREAMPLIFIER
The Absolare Eternum Preamplifier is a fully balanced, pure class-A, zero feedback, all-tube, dual mono, two chassis preamplifier with 4 inputs and 2 outputs. It has two fully separated balanced preamplifier, one for each channel. "High impedance - High gain" input with minimum number of components provides undisturbed amplification. "Low impedance - Unity gain" output section can drive any load easily. All power supplies are enclosed in a separate chassis to reduce hum, noise and vibration even further.
Key Features
• Several color and stitching options of high-end automotive leather covering are available to personalize your preamplifier
• All internal connections are implemented with the new reference of the high-end audio cable industry Echole Infinity cables
• Duelund’s select CAST Silver/Copper & Silver coupling capacitors are used together with matched Amtrans AMRG resistors for excellent transparency.
• Separate signal ground from chassis ground isolates hum and noise from AC mains
• Attenuation is achieved through customized ALPS 500 series attenuator. A machined solid bronze housing and specially developed resistive element conducts every nuance in the signal, even in low level listening.
• The Large CNC machined aluminum tube housing provides a vibration free environment for the tubes. Signal components are directly mounted to the underside of the CNC machined tube housing to minimize unwanted vibrations
Connections and Chassis
XLR inputs and outputs are transformer balanced for maximum noise immunity and signal symmetry. Special silver-gold alloy solder is used for all soldered joints. All signal connectors are gold plated tellurium copper. Tube sockets are pure teflon with gold plated copper contacts.
The laser cut and precision welded single piece aluminum chassis is encased in high density fiber panels to minimize the mechanical resonances.
