Electronics

Cliché as it may sound, a chain is only as strong as its weakest link. Thus the audiophile adage, "a pair of speakers will sound only as good as the electronics driving them." Thanks to advances in technology, audio electronics have evolved at a staggering pace. Especially in areas such as digital audio (CD players for example) the quality of sound available today is substantially better than ever before. But, odd as it may seem, even "old school" technology such as vacuum tube circuits sound better today than ever before - the result of better output transformers, better power supplies, and numerous other advances which have opened the door to a new era in high fidelity.

We carry Border Patrol tube preamplifiers and amplifiers. These products represent the finest in vacuum tube based electronics, are all hand made in the US, and are hand wired point to point. They are supremely musical, and an exceptionally good match with Wilson Benesch speakers. Border Patrol offers a variety of amplifier at different price points, in both push pull and single ended triode configuration, to provide the ideal match for both your speakers, listening habits, and musical taste. The Border Patrol pre-amplifier is available either as a linestage, or with a tube phono stage. It is the ideal match Border Patrol's superb amplifiers, and follows designer Gary Dews' minimalist philosophy. Built with a rare level of attention to detail, Border Patrol products offer an exceptional listening experience. We encourage you to audition these fine products today.
