The insanely powerful HK 3490 combines all of an audiophile’s must-haves (high performance phono preamp, preout/main-in jacks, high-current amplification) with an array of multichannel extras (digital-audio inputs, video switching, dual subwoofer outputs and Dolby® Virtual Speaker technology). Add The Bridge II docking station, and the HK 3490 will connect as elegantly to your newfangled iPod as it does to your time-honored turntable. The HK 3490 isn’t a snob about where the music comes from, as long as it sounds great when it reaches its final destination: your ears.
