This ensures maximum sound quality with MM and MC cartridges.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is as easy as 1-2-3: simply plug in and you’re ready to go. Only for MC there is a variable setting of the input impedance between 50 and 400 ohms.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe measured values of the PHONO are exceptionally good all the way. Noise and distortion figures are close to the resolution limit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo put it briefly: sound quality and technology of this amplifier play in a class of their own.

But this concept is a completely new reinterpretation using the latest technologies and components.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe dual-stage circuitry with a passive RIAA equalization network uses the best J-FET amplifiers, which are currently available, and ultra precision resistors and capacitors from Japan.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe purely passive equalization has a significant advantage: the distortions in the bass range are much lower than with the usually applied circuits.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs power supply we use a “medical grade“ wall plug transformer which ensures a particularly good isolation from line disturbances. Together with the elaborated onboard filtering and special voltage regulators, we were able to realize an exceptionally low-noise power supply with a ripple voltage below 10
