All-tube turntable preamplifier that works with both MM and MC phono cartridges
Precise selection and matching of tubes with exceptional parameters
 
Product Features
an all-tube turntable preamplifier for both MM and MC phono cartridges
nine tubes, one vacuum tube out of them used to rectify anode voltage
wiring circuitry without any global feedback
PCB’s utilize our premium CMT ™ technology
precise selection and matching of the tubes that have above-average parameters
vacuum-impregnated transformer core
transformer potted in a special anti-vibration compound and placed in the massive welded cover
the exceptional high-quality polypropylene capacitors in the signal path were used
if a turntable is fitted with two tonearms, one having an MM phono cartridge installed and the other MC, both can be connected simultaneously without mutually affecting each other
high variability of gain settings, resistances and capacitances settings for all types of phono cartridges
a high-quality step-up Lundahl transformer for MC phono cartridges
