C1000P+C1000C
Commentary

Preamplifier using C100 dual chassis configuration.
The C1000P is a solid-state type and the C1000T is a bulb-tube type, and there were two types of variations.

A two chassis configuration with separate preamp and control / power supplies provides a fully double-balanced circuit for all signal paths.

The VRV (Variable Rate Volume) digital electronic volume with 214 steps in increments of 0.5 dB has been adopted, making it possible to adjust the volume with high precision as if it were an analog volume.
In addition, the structure of the contact is resistant to changes over time, enabling long-term stable operation.

All input terminals are programmable.

It uses an electromagnetic switch filled with inert gas. This switch is resistant to oxidation and can switch signals without contact failure over a long period of time.

Equipped with left and right independent blue eyes meters that can monitor output level in a range over 70 dB.

Equipped with MM/MC phono circuit.
