Elac Alchemy PPA-2

Elac Alchemy PPA-2 - Alchemy Phono Preamplifier

The Alchemy PPA-2 is a full-featured phono preamp that uses all analog, discrete FET gain and EQ stages to transform microscopic grooves in vinyl into stunningly lifelike music. The PPA-2 can be tailored to specific cartridge requirements, with switchable gain for each channel, MC cartridge loading, and stereo or mono operation. A selection of RCA or XLR inputs and outputs adds even more flexibility to the most versatile phono preamp in its class.

FEATURES

• Fully discrete, balanced FET topologyfrom input to output
• DC servo-controlled output stage
• Switchable MM or MC gain for each channel
• MC loading continuously adjustable from 5 Ω to999 Ω
• Precise MC cartridge loading settings for eachinput can be displayed on the LCD informationscreen
