PMA-390
Commentary

A pre-main amplifier that uses a large toroidal transformer and pursues a full-scale model beyond the class.

The power supply section uses a large toroidal transformer with less flux leakage.
In addition, the low impedance volume reduces the impedance of the volume control circuit, preventing the S/N ratio and frequency characteristics from deteriorating at general listening levels.

Equipped with a tone control circuit, it is possible to increase the bass and treble range, and it is also possible to make powerful playback even at low volume by the loudness.
In addition, it is equipped with a source direct switch, and by turning this switch on, it enables higher-purity playback without the tone control circuit.

Equipped with a wide-range equalizer amplifier that can be switched between MC and MM.
