R35 features adjustable gain to amplify the signal from virtually any moving magnet or moving coil phono cartridge, and a very wide range of input adjustments allowing for ideal cartridge and system matching.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eThe look and feel of Scandinavia\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe believe that every aspect of our products – the way they look, the satisfying feel of the controls – contributes to the overall experience of living with Primare. As a result, Primare products exude the hallmarks of Scandinavian design – simple, elegant designs, with approachable and easy to understand functionality.\u003cbr\u003eAn example of this is the standby button discretely placed within the Primare logo on the faceplate of our R15, R35 and A35.2 models – or as we say lagom, not too much not too little, everything in balance, proportion, and harmony.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eModular Design and System Building\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe feel it is essential to offer modularity whenever possible in order to have just the right features, both now and for the future. Modular design is featured in the I25 and I35 modular integrated amplifiers, as well as the PRE35 modular preamplifier, all of which can be updated with DAC and Prisma modules, as well as the CD35 CD player that can have the Prisma module added, either at the time of purchase or at a later date. As a result, we are able to offer a carefully considered array of models and configurations in order to allow for device selection that best fits any system need. For example, a CD35 with Prisma module installed can be paired with an I35 integrated amplifier, allowing for a separation of analog and digital stages. Or, an I35 with DAC and Prisma modules installed can be paired with a DD35 CD transport, allowing for multi-room and multi-zone playback of every input, whether analog or digital source.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnd while not modular, the R35 can be added to any of those systems to include high performance playback of vinyl records.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eR15 and R35 Phono Preamplifiers\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn this video we review the features and functionality of both the R15 and R35 MM\/MC phono preamplifiers that may make them the perfect addition to your system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"936\" height=\"526\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/rit2q0W4TKs\" title=\"R15 and R35 Phono Preamplifiers\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eReviews\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e“Beautifully designed, finely crafted and not yet completely out of touch in terms of price”… With the Vertere DG-1S and a Thorens MC TAS 1500 as a source, it gave the sound of the system a fundamental impact that is rarely achieved with vinyl. Ideal for helping the newly arrived double LP The World Ended A Long Time Ago to achieve maximum effect… For fans of a warm, silky phono sound, the Primare is therefore exactly the right choice.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e-Mint\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e“Did you like the R15? You’ll love the R35 even more. This is not the trailer for a sequel, although the R35, contemporary with the R15, fully deserves to be seen and above all heard. To the point that the question arises of understanding how the Swedish manufacturer achieves such a functionality\/quality\/appearance\/price mix… Of the R15, we wrote that the sound was “full, warm and lively.” In comparison, R35 appears fleshy, vigorous, even fiery. Free, rather. Without being heavy or overwhelming, just impeccably open and breathing while being, yes, fiery… And if you have an integrated or a preamp with balanced line input, you will still gain very significantly in this mode in terms of transparency, dynamics, and noise reduction. The difference is far from negligible. For all these reasons, the R35 establishes a real hierarchy compared to the R15, even offering itself the vanity of challenging devices of significantly higher prices. So yes, this is certainly not new; but, at Primare, the devices are designed to last, and this is not the least of their qualities.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e-Diapason\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e“Primare’s legacy R32 has been our reference phono stage for almost a decade, but the R35 sets the bar so much higher, with so many settings, balanced connections and improved audio, it really is \u003cem\u003ethe\u003c\/em\u003e reference phono stage.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e-Audiograde\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e“In the R35 what Primare has done is focus on offering a product that can rival the best on spec alone, while not sacrificing what sets it apart from most at the price which is its sheer musical performance. It has depth and detail in spades, with an analogue character that underlines vinyl’s enduring appeal. It’s bass control is also class leading, and when you put all this together, the package is outstanding.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e-Audiograde\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e“What I like about the ‘no nonsense’ aspect of the R35 that is so appealing is that the character of the vinyl (recording, production, quality of mix, master and pressing) is presented quite frankly and not uncritically. My bad records really don’t get any better and the good versions sound better than I’ve ever heard them.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e-HVT\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e”If you are looking for a flexible phono stage that can be used on all pickups, and that plays heavenly without breaking the bank completely, the Primare R35 is one of the best choices in the price range below NOK 20,000.

First, it has more settings and higher flexibility than most of its competitors in the price range. This in itself provides a usable guarantee that you get the full potential of your pickup and turntable, no matter what you want to buy or have before. If you already have Primare and want your system to sound great and at the same time look holistic and stylish, just buy. Primare R35 is stylish, impressively flexible, and plays brilliantly.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e-Stereo+\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e“The Primare R35 is that rare thing: an audio component with a lot of features that also sounds exceptionally revealing. Usually, it’s one or the other, so getting both in a professionally executed package with some superior styling touches at a sensible price is quite an achievement.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e-HiFi+\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e“Primare R35 – Flagship phono stage is an analogue triumph… it is an incredibly flexible and capable phono stage that seemingly has the ability to extract the very best from any cartridge that crosses its path. A rare feat at any price, this only further pumps up the R35’s value.

Not as a show off, but with strict neutrality with no effort. That is what I call to the point.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e-Audio\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Primare","offers":[{"title":"Black","offer_id":49301738029299,"sku":null,"price":2999.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Titanium","offer_id":49301738062067,"sku":null,"price":2999.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0429\/5301\/5446\/files\/20180907_PRIMARE_Packshots_36665-1-scaled.jpg?v=1782517220","url":"https:\/\/www.heynowhifi.com.au\/products\/primare-r35-mm-mc-phono-preamplifier","provider":"HeyNow Hi-Fi","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
