Description

The Sumo Athena is a classic, high-end, solid-state stereo preamplifier manufactured in the late 1980s by the US-based company Sumo (Chatsworth, CA). Designed with a slim, rack-mountable profile, the Athena caters to audiophiles looking for a minimalist, no-frills, high-performance control center. It is well-regarded for its low-noise, wide-bandwidth design and its inclusion of a premium, highly adjustable phono stage.
