Feature list:

• a specific designed Phonograph preamplifier section, unique in the world
• Phonograph RIAA – equalization with coils only, no sound impairing capacitors in filters
• special printed circuit board material with gold conducting paths
• the printed circuit board has a special seating to evade microphonics
• special equipment foot made of selected wood avoids mechanical energy storage
• low noise moving coil input stage, no annoying noise even with low-output cartridges
• automatic adapting input stage for moving coil cartridges, no matching resistors needed
• possibility to compensate phonograph cartridge sensivity (level adjustment)
• cut out of coupling capacitors in the signal path as far as possible
• strictly separated amplifier sections and circuit layout deliver a very natural soundstage
• inputs: two phonograph inputs, one for MC cartridges, one for MM or MC high-output
• a shielded transformer is placed in an external housing to avoid hum and EMI noise
• power supply with Gyrators for each amplifier stage deliver very high noise cancellation
• the external transformer is available for different mains voltages
