Boulder’s outstanding 1000 series, on demonstration at Criterion Audio Cambridge. 

What is it that makes the 1110 Stereo preamplifier so special? It is something rare, an overachiever, a unique combination of reference-level performance and compact, convenient design. It is at once familiar in size and shape and yet completely new in aesthetic design detail. It is the perfect mix of traditional function and cutting-edge technology. Perhaps what makes it so special is that it takes such amazing sight, sound, use, and feel and packs them all into a single chassis. It is, after all, a Boulder, and every Boulder is special.
