B & K Components Introduces The Phono 10 Preamplifier

B & K Components, Ltd., introduces its new Phono 10 Preamplifier. This outboard phono preamplifier works with your preamp and amplifier. The Phono 10 was designed using all-discrete circuit topology, and the head amp is switchable to accommodate both moving coil and moving magnet cartridges. The Phono 10 has the option of being outfitted with a digital output (A/D converter) to allow for recording to CD or DAT of your record. Internally, the Phono 10 features FET loading, and uses polypropylene resistors to obtain RIAA accuracy within +/-0.2dB. Other features include 1% metal film resistors, a low-noise Torodial transformer and gold plated connectors. The Phono 10 was designed to be easy to use and to integrate into any system. The Control I/O switch allows for remote turn on of the Phono 10 from a receiver or other preamp, and the Gain Switch adjusts the output level down by 10dB. This is used to match the Phono output level with other source levels. The manufacturerĂ­s suggested retail price on the Phono 10 is $498, and with the A/D module the Phono 10 retails for $698. The unit is now available. For more information, visit www.bkcomp.com.
