Commentary
A pre-main amplifier with simple and straight transmission and microphone mixing mechanism.
Equipped with a 4-step cartridge load selector similar to the TA-F55.
The power amplifier section is a discrete DC power amplifier using a current mirror differential amplifier circuit.
The power supply section is equipped with a high-capacity green electrolytic capacitor.
Simple and straight transmission is used to locate components at the shortest distance along the signal flow, preventing degradation of sound quality due to electrostatic coupling between wires and components.
Supports MC cartridge direct input.
