◆ Features This is a control amplifier with a built-in MM/MC phono equalizer using 5670 tubes. It has a clear and uncolored sound that brings out the characteristics of the power amplifier and speakers. Carefully selected high-quality parts are used. It has 4 input systems plus 1 MM and 1 MC phono input, making it easy to use. Vacuum tubes used: GE 5670 (WE396A interchangeable) x 8, Philips 6x4 x 1. A full-fledged preamplifier consisting of SRPP amplification stages in all stages. The absence of feedback, combined with the straightforward CR and EQ circuits, allows dynamic and expressive sounds to leap from analog discs. The phono EQ uses 5670W in a 2-stage SRPP configuration, and the EQ circuit is equipped with an MC head amplifier using FETs with impedance switching (3-stage impedance switching internally). ■ The kit is pre-assembled, and the following high-quality improvements have been made: ● It has been assembled and wired faithfully and carefully. ● For the power cable, a 12A high-capacity type was selected through comparative listening tests, and OYAIDE high-frequency noise shielding tape and a vibration damping stabilizer were installed. (Photo) ● Vibration damping urethane sheets are attached to the back of the top cover to improve the S/N ratio. ◆ Sound Quality It has transparent high frequencies, and the softness, fullness, and smoothness of the sound are wonderful. In particular, the installation of a high-quality power cable improves resolution, damping, and sound quality, producing music that far surpasses the original. ■ MJ production listening test articles and circuit diagrams are also included. ■ We will address any issues, such as no sound after arrival. ■ The exterior has some scratches on the top cover. There are no particularly large or noticeable scratches. Please refrain from purchasing if you are particularly concerned about the appearance. ■ It will be shipped in a secure package. ■ Specifications Tubes used: 5670 x 8 GE (WE396A interchangeable), 6X4 x 1 Philips Inputs: Line x 3, CD, MM, MC Outputs: 2 systems (A/B switching), RECOUT Power: AC100V (50/60Hz) Dimensions: W420 x H130 x D330 (mm) (including protrusions) Weight: 7.5kg
