Commentary
The pre-main amplifier of the UA series announced as the definitive pre-main amplifier.
It has two Phono MAG input terminals, one for MM type and the other can be used by switching between MM type and MC type.
The preamp and main amp can be connected and separated by a switch so that they can be used separately.
Center channel output is mounted.
