Commentary
This is a pre-main amplifier developed with the aim of sound that is as close as possible to human sensitivity as possible, rather than technology.
Unlike the conventional high-gain equalizer configuration, it is equipped with a full-scale MC head amplifier with carefully selected ultra-low-noise transistors.
The phono amplifier realizes a wide bandwidth and low noise with high-precision equalizer elements and push-pull circuits for all stages. In addition, you can enjoy playback utilizing the individuality of each MM cartridge depending on the ドーロセレクター.
The class AB DC-power amplifier section is connected from the input stage of the matched pair dual FET to the super high fTMarantz's unique Low-TIM design that minimizes dynamic strain up to the output stage of 3-stage Darlington connection by transistor.
A large-capacity toroidal transformer and a super audio capacitor are used for the power supply.
It features tape-to-tape dubbing and a microphone mixing circuit that can mix with any source, including phono and tuner CDs.
