Preamplificator Phono CEC PH 53

Full Description

Overview

PH 53 is a state of the art phono amplifier. The unique balanced current injection input for a wide range of MC cartridge and LEF amplifier technology for the output stage provide todays top level sound quality. Also standard RCA input for unbalanced use with MM or MC cartridge is available. All amplifier sections run without any overall negative feedback. Thus the amplifier creates no dynamic distortions. PH 53 is compatible with both MM and MC cartridges and allows precise settings with DIP switches on its bottom panel. Input capacity for MM cartridge is adjustable to around 47pF to 884pF with 4 switches per channel in addition to cable capacitance. Also input impedance is adjustable to 100Ω that is a common value for most MC cartridges or to 1Ω that is a standard value for most high output MC cartridges. Input Impedance for MM cartridges is fixed at 47Ω with all the switches open. Gain switches are also applied increasing the gain by 6 dB for low MM and high MC, or 20dB for low MC.
