Over the years it has built an enviable reputation for cutting-edge portable tape recorders for the film, broadcasting and security industries, picking up multiple Oscar and Emmy wins for technical excellence on the way. Fittingly, the brand name translates to \u2018will record\u2019 in Polish.<\/p>\n<p>It wasn\u2019t until 1998 that Nagra launched its first hi-fi product, the PL-P preamplifier. Back then, it retailed for around \u00a35700 ($9500), pretty much at the top of the tree as far as stereo preamps were concerned. This unit was unlike anything the high-end establishment was producing and borrowed heavily from the technology and aesthetics of the company\u2019s esteemed recorders.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"hawk-placeholder\" data-render-type=\"fte\" data-skip=\"dealsy\" data-widget-type=\"seasonal\" data-widget-id=\"3915621795013219300\" data-result=\"missing\"><\/aside>\n<p>The most obvious link to those units was the use of battery power. There are eight rechargeable \u2018D\u2019 cells in the Nagra PL-P. The use of these batteries and some clever power-charging management gave the PL-P\u2019s valve-based circuitry a clean power feed that was isolated from any noise on the mains. Each PL-P came with an intelligent outboard power supply that kept the batteries optimally charged in use.<\/p>\n<p>That ultra-clean power supply was vital for performance, as the PL-P\u2019s compact casework packed a switchable moving magnet\/moving coil <a class=\"hawk-link-parsed\" href=\"https:\/\/www.whathifi.com\/best-buys\/accessories\/best-phono-preamps\" data-component-tracked=\"1\">phono stage<\/a> and transformer driven headphone output along with the line-level circuitry.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/melodysvision.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sQwLEXLsGTRYr4HVfo6NBo-970-80.jpg\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-4685\" src=\"https:\/\/melodysvision.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sQwLEXLsGTRYr4HVfo6NBo-970-80.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"970\" height=\"545\" srcset=\"https:\/\/melodysvision.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sQwLEXLsGTRYr4HVfo6NBo-970-80.jpg 970w, https:\/\/melodysvision.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sQwLEXLsGTRYr4HVfo6NBo-970-80-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/melodysvision.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sQwLEXLsGTRYr4HVfo6NBo-970-80-768x432.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 970px) 100vw, 970px\" \/><\/a><span class=\"caption-text\">Inside the Nagra PL-P <\/span><span class=\"credit\">(Image credit: Nagra)<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Unusually, the phono module uses valves too, alongside a pair of in-house, step-up transformers to ensure enough gain for low output moving coils. The phono module is fully configurable with a range of <a class=\"hawk-link-parsed\" href=\"https:\/\/www.whathifi.com\/best-buys\/accessories\/best-cartridges\" data-component-tracked=\"1\">cartridge<\/a> loading options \u2013 47- 837pF capacitance and 30-330ohm resistance \u2013 and the ability to switch the step-up transformers in and out of the circuit as required.<\/p>\n<p>Despite a thorough manual, those new to Nagra won\u2019t find the adjustments intuitive. But given familiarity, selecting the specific values needed and moving the various internal jumpers between the relevant connections is easy enough.<\/p>\n<p>Nagra has always been a practical company so the valves used are common types rather than of the exotic, hard-to-get variety. Expected life is in the region of 5,000 hours, and unlike most similar products you don\u2019t need to guess at remaining valve life. Nagra has fitted internal timers for both the phono and line sections to indicate how much use the valves have had.<\/p>\n<p>The PLP\u2019s headphone circuit is carefully considered. There is a dedicated, Nagra-made transformer for each channel and the circuit\u2019s sound matches the performance we hear through the line outputs. We use <a class=\"hawk-link-parsed\" href=\"https:\/\/www.whathifi.com\/beyerdynamic\/t1-generation-2\/review\" data-component-tracked=\"1\">Beyerdynamics T1s<\/a> and Grado\u2019s RS1s headphones without issue.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/melodysvision.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/y4Enk2YikTdrLoSFQqVau6-970-80.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-4681 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/melodysvision.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/y4Enk2YikTdrLoSFQqVau6-970-80.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"970\" height=\"545\" srcset=\"https:\/\/melodysvision.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/y4Enk2YikTdrLoSFQqVau6-970-80.jpg 970w, https:\/\/melodysvision.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/y4Enk2YikTdrLoSFQqVau6-970-80-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/melodysvision.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/y4Enk2YikTdrLoSFQqVau6-970-80-768x432.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 970px) 100vw, 970px\" \/><\/a><span class=\"caption-text\">Even the top panel looks technical <\/span><span class=\"credit\">(Image credit: Nagra)<\/span><\/p>\n<p>The company takes a great deal of care to ensure quality and, despite buying from top OEM suppliers, still rejects over half the valves it receives. A quick search reveals that a replacement valve kit for the PL-P runs to around \u00a3645 for the full set and \u00a3465 if you want to replace just those used in the line stages.<\/p>\n<p>If that sounds a lot, the PL-P was an expensive product, and arguably one of the finest preamps available when it was introduced. It was so capable that Nagra kept it in production until 2012 \u2013 few hi-fi products stay in production and remain desirable for that length of time.<\/p>\n<p>Connectivity is limited by modern standards. There are three line-level inputs alongside the switchable phono connections and two pairs of stereo outs. Those used to modern high-end equipment will be surprised by the lack of balanced connectivity \u2013 everything here is single-ended RCAs. Considering the company\u2019s rich heritage in recording equipment, we\u2019re not surprised to find a tape loop included. There are trimming potentiometers inside the PL-P to make sure the tape output signal level matches that of the source.<\/p>\n<p>Unusually, none of the connections are on the back panel. In homage to its recorders, the company engineers decided to put all the inputs on the left side panel, and the outputs on the right. The only exception is the 6.3mm headphone output, which is on the front panel.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/melodysvision.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/SuwuNNX6gHnsZASrxfkifd-970-80.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-4687\" src=\"https:\/\/melodysvision.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/SuwuNNX6gHnsZASrxfkifd-970-80.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"970\" height=\"555\" srcset=\"https:\/\/melodysvision.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/SuwuNNX6gHnsZASrxfkifd-970-80.jpg 970w, https:\/\/melodysvision.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/SuwuNNX6gHnsZASrxfkifd-970-80-300x172.jpg 300w, https:\/\/melodysvision.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/SuwuNNX6gHnsZASrxfkifd-970-80-768x439.jpg 768w, https:\/\/melodysvision.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/SuwuNNX6gHnsZASrxfkifd-970-80-150x86.jpg 150w, https:\/\/melodysvision.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/SuwuNNX6gHnsZASrxfkifd-970-80-450x257.jpg 450w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 970px) 100vw, 970px\" \/><\/a><span class=\"credit\">(Image credit: Nagra)<\/span><\/p>\n<p>That front panel is a busy-looking thing. The trademark Nagra meter is another echo from the company\u2019s recorders, but here it has multiple purposes. Used in conjunction with the pair of input level controls, the meter can be used to optimise the signal-to-noise ratio of the preamp. The dual meter pointers rest at the maximum signal peak for just a split second making it easy to adjust the input level to the highest value without reaching overload. This feature also makes it easy to level-match sources or even-out the channel balance.<\/p>\n<p>Those input level controls can either operate individually or they can be mechanically linked, by a clever mechanism, to move in parallel. The meter can also be used to check the battery power level by moving the small toggle beside it.<\/p>\n<p>That large input selector also doubles as the power switch. When an input is selected the appropriate valves are turned on, so only the line-level valves are used with such a source while all eight valves are powered when listening to records. It\u2019s a good way to preserve valve life.<\/p>\n<p>Overall build quality is as good as you\u2019d expect from a high-end Swiss-made product. It feels luxurious in use and there\u2019s no denying the quality of build and finish, both inside and out. The quality of internal components is exemplary and the circuit board is isolated from external vibrations with elastomer dampers. Our only complaint is that the output level control doesn\u2019t quite have the well-damped, weighty motion we think it should have.<\/p>\n<p>We try the PL-P with both our reference <a class=\"hawk-link-parsed\" href=\"https:\/\/www.whathifi.com\/burmester\/911-mk-iii-monoblocs\/review\" data-component-tracked=\"1\">Burmester 911 Mk III<\/a> power amplifier and a <a class=\"hawk-link-parsed\" href=\"https:\/\/www.whathifi.com\/gamut\/d3id200i-prepower-amplifier\/review\" data-component-tracked=\"1\">Gamut D200<\/a>i without issue.

Tonally, it\u2019s pretty neutral, but also transparent enough to let the natural tonal richness and textures of the instruments flow through. This is a tidy, cultured presentation packed full of subtle detail and organised well. We\u2019re impressed by the Nagra\u2019s composure when the piece gets demanding and the way it can combine subtleties with a grand sense of power.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/melodysvision.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/gHNvfZXgYD4VrGNXz29wkd-970-80.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-4683\" src=\"https:\/\/melodysvision.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/gHNvfZXgYD4VrGNXz29wkd-970-80.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"790\" height=\"430\" srcset=\"https:\/\/melodysvision.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/gHNvfZXgYD4VrGNXz29wkd-970-80.jpg 790w, https:\/\/melodysvision.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/gHNvfZXgYD4VrGNXz29wkd-970-80-300x163.jpg 300w, https:\/\/melodysvision.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/gHNvfZXgYD4VrGNXz29wkd-970-80-768x418.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 790px) 100vw, 790px\" \/><\/a><span class=\"caption-text\">Nagra&#8217;s current Classic preamp and partnering Classic power <\/span><span class=\"credit\">(Image credit: Future)<\/span><\/p>\n<p>The PL-P\u2019s stereo imaging is lovely and layered. Instruments are positioned with care and the sound stage is pleasingly expansive. It is able to communicate depth in a way that even some current high-end preamps struggle to deliver.<\/p>\n<p>We switch to <em>Mount The Air <\/em>by The Unthanks and love the way this preamp conveys voices. Its mid-band performance is terrific, delivering delicacy and dynamic fluidity superbly. The backing instrumentation is rendered in a controlled manner, one that informs and emotes in equal measure. We are aware that this remains a highly detailed performer, but at no point does all that detail get in the way of our enjoyment. That\u2019s a difficult trick to pull off.<\/p>\n<p>Nagra\u2019s current Classic Preamp manages exactly the same thing. The two preamps may be separated by two decades worth of development, but listen to them side-by-side and it\u2019s clear that they share more beyond just that distinctive appearance. Both sound immensely natural and unforced, treading the line between informing and entertaining brilliantly. The newer product is clearly better though. It\u2019s even more detailed and dramatic, and has a surefooted sense of timing that makes the older one seem just a little restrained.<\/p>\n<p>But, that doesn\u2019t diminish how much we like the Nagra PL-P. As we listen to a wide range of music from Stevie Wonder and Nick Cave through to Tchaikovsky and A.R Rahman we\u2019re aware that the PL-P works its charm equally well across genres. Impressive.<\/p>\n<p>The Nagra PL-P is over two decades old and remains lovely to use, delivering a performance that can still compare to the best preamps available. If anything deserves legendary status we think this unit does.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a class=\"hawk-link-parsed\" href=\"https:\/\/www.whathifi.com\/features\/nagra-military-movies-spying-and-serious-hi-fi\" data-component-tracked=\"1\"><strong>Nagra: the military, movies, spying \u2013 and serious hi-fi<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n<li><a class=\"hawk-link-parsed\" href=\"https:\/\/www.whathifi.com\/features\/that-was-then-wilson-benesch-act-one-review\" data-component-tracked=\"1\"><strong>That Was Then&#8230; Wilson Benesch ACT One review<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n<li><a class=\"hawk-link-parsed\" href=\"https:\/\/www.whathifi.com\/features\/what-hi-fi-hall-fame\" data-component-tracked=\"1\"><strong>The What Hi-Fi?
