Unique design phono stage
The phono stage uses the best tubes out of our stringent
selection process as well as custom designed Nagra
transformers for impressive noise figures, dynamic range
and high performances.
Variable capacitive and resistive loading is provided to
allow ideal matching with all cartridges. Those settings
are placed inside the PL-P to avoid any undesirable
outside interference and maintain the signal’'s integrity.
The internal moving-coil phono transformers can be
bypassed to allow the use of an external transformer or
no transformer at all.
With respect to an RIAA specification, an EQ is
available to switch-in a 3 dB rumble filter at 30 Hz.
