Commentary
A500 series control amplifier kit.
All stages are push-pull circuits using left and right independent power supplies for all amplifier circuits.
In addition, a duo-beta circuit is mounted to improve sound quality with an appropriate amount of NFB and DC servo.
The equalizer is a dual equalizer configuration with dedicated equalizer circuits for MC and MM. The MC equalizer is capable of 3 levels of sensitivity switching, making it possible to best match with cartridges.
A fully direct connection is used from the cartridge input to the output to the power amplifier, eliminating the coloring of sound by the condenser.
Equipped with phono straight function, input selector, REC selector, mode, Attenuator, and balancer can be separated by one switch to make a circuit with only equalizer and flat section.
Uses a 3 mm thick front panel.
The A502Limited is a kit with the same circuit structure and luxurious parts. It uses a glass epoxy 70 μ m copper-foil substrate, copper-foil Styrol capacitor, audio electrolytic capacitor with sound quality measures, and oxygen-free copper wire / AC cord.
There was a CR part set for A502Limited for A502.
