The Momentum C2 replaces the celebrated HD Preamp with a ground-up redesign centered on a new complementary four-JFET input circuit in a differential push-pull arrangement. This significantly increases input impedance and reduces noise, delivering a blacker background and greater resolution of micro-dynamic detail.

Discrete tone controls remain fully transparent when inactive. A concealed headphone amplifier offers refined private listening. The new power supply features an OLED status display, and the optional Digital Streaming Module ($12,500) adds Roon Ready streaming with Tidal, Qobuz, and Spotify. The Bluetooth Vision remote provides bidirectional control.

The Momentum C2Z ($65,000) is a dedicated variant engineered to pair with the Momentum Z monoblocks. It shares the C2's revolutionary four-JFET topology but is optimized for the Z's advanced input stage and Kinetic Drive architecture — ensuring seamless electrical and sonic compatibility at the highest level of Momentum performance.
