Particular attention is paid to heat dissipation. Where caps are necessary as in the RIAA filter high quality mica, polypropylene or polycarbonate films capacitors are used. The entire product line features no reactive components in the signal path: no capacitors, chokes or transformers.

In other words, the PS-1 plus the PSU-1 power supply required to run it brings the phono preamp’s total price to $5800. The Reite Audio line includes the PS-1 phono preamp ($3900), the LS-1 line stage ($9200), the PA-100 100 watt monoblock amplifier ($17,000/pr), the PA-400 400 watt monoblock amplifier ($25,000/pr), the HP-1 headphone amplifier ($5500) and the PSU-1 power supply ($1900) that can simultaneously run both the phono preamplifier and the line stage. Reite, who has an Associates Degree in Electronic Engineering Technology from Santa Monica City College, continues the operation. Sheftel, who had a Master of Music from Yale University and a long career as a Los Angeles studio musician (and who played lead trumpet throughout the musical “Hair”’s two year run at the Aquarius Theater), passed away late last winter just as Reite Audio’s engine was gathering steam, but Mr. The company’s ability to reliably deliver has been questioned in many online threads and despite being in business for twenty years appears to be a not particularly communicative one man operation (readers are invited to argue otherwise). The unit with which I some time, didn’t impress in terms of build quality and though it sounded fine, I couldn’t understand the level of audiophile near-hysteria surrounding it. One of its products, The Groove phono preamp had, at the turn of the century, what could fairly be described as a “cult following”. Sheftel first imported to America and distributed the Welsh-made Tom Evans Audio Design line of electronics. Reite Audio is a relatively new company created by electronics designer Bob Reite and musician Ed Sheftel.
