Based on the PE-01J, this special limited edition phono equalizer for MM cartridges achieves improved sound quality through customization of key internal components with high-quality components.
In addition to maintaining the same meticulous attention to detail as the PE-01J, including the use of high-precision MELF resistors and laminated metallized polyester film capacitors, as well as a two-stage amplifier circuit, the NFJ-original DIP-compatible TI OPA1612 is used as a dual-circuit op amp, while the OPA627 is mounted on a newly designed single DIP-compatible board specifically for this limited edition model.
In addition, the circuit uses Toshin Kogyo's UPZ series audio film capacitors, and several other capacitor selections have been modified for balance adjustment.
This product is a phono equalizer preamp designed specifically for MM cartridges, converting the record player's phono output to a line output, enabling connection to devices that do not support phono inputs.
By connecting this amplifier between an amplifier without a phono equalizer and a record player without a phono equalizer, you can enjoy records in environments that do not support phono inputs.
[Key IC Specifications]
■ Equalizer Circuit: OPA627 (dedicated single-circuit DIP board)
■ Amplification Circuit: TI OPA1612 (dual-circuit DIP board)
[Notes]
- For MM cartridges only
- Cannot be used with MC cartridges or record players that do not allow the phono equalizer to be turned off.
- When connecting to a record player with a built-in phono equalizer, set the player's phono equalizer function to OFF.
- Replacing the op amp requires disassembly of the unit and is therefore not covered by the warranty.
- The power supply is sold separately. Please purchase an AC adapter separately.
