Commentary
A wide-range DC pre-main amplifier designed to bring out the full appeal of CDs.
The transformer of the power supply section uses a model with enhanced vibration and heat resistance with high-density filler.
In addition, an electrolytic capacitor for audio equipment with a high charge / discharge speed is combined.
It uses a rotary switch and volume driven by a small motor controlled by a microcomputer. It realizes remote input function switching and volume control without affecting sound quality.
In order to suppress the slight vibration caused by the power transformer, a strap mount structure is adopted in which the transformer is mounted upside down to reduce the vibration by utilizing the self-weight of the transformer.
It is equipped with source direct and can be amplified without passing through an accessory circuit that is rarely used, such as a balance volume or subsonic filter.
In addition to the loudness that raises the high and low ranges, we have added a bass booth that raises only the low range, which is often lacking in small bookshelf speakers.
Each can be controlled in 2 stages for a total of 4 modes.
A gold-plated CD input terminal is mounted.
Equipped with an MC/MM phono equalizer.
Uses a power cord with polarity display.
