Description:
We’re offering the AGD Alto MKII that represented Nightingale Audio at this year’s T.H.E. Show in Costa Mesa/Los Angeles. If you were among the attendees who experienced our room, you already know how exceptional this unit sounded—effortless dynamics, incredible transparency, and a truly engaging musical presentation that left a lasting impression on many showgoers.
Wealth of inputs and outputs. Phono, 2x RCA, 1xXLR, USB, COAX, OPT, AES, LAN, Bluetooth inputs. Purchased May 2025 for the show, with very low hours. OCD Mikey did a review and comparison on this unit.
“The AGD “ALTO MKII” is a complete audiophile Analog and Digital Reference Preamplifier that delivers unique features and components in a single beautifully crafted single billet aluminum cabinet. With his built-in fully balanced phono stage (MM & MC) and now the optional R2R DAC with a full-fledged versatile Network Player, the “ALTO MKII” is, by design, the perfect companion preamplifier for our line of GaN-based amplifiers.
