AV Shack brings you Teac PE-505 Phono Preamplifier (Black) 

  

Fully-balanced Phono Amplifier

Phono equalising amplifier with dual monaural and fully-balanced input/output circuit design

The PE-505 is a phono equalising amplifier with dual monaural and fully-balanced input/output circuits that support balanced MC input.The development of the PE-505 was achieved by relying on TEAC’s audio technology expertise, focusing on recording and playback, with the goal of accurately reproducing the original intent of the recording producers. The PE-505 will amplify even very faint audio signals picked up by the cartridge, process them without colouration, and then deliver them faithfully in order to keep the listener as close as possible to the original sound that was played before it was engraved on the master disc.

The high precision RIAA correction circuit, as well as both DECCA and COLUMBIA curves are supported. In addition, selectable load resistance for MC cartridges and load capacity for MM cartridges are present, allowing users to optimise the settings for the type of cartridge used and for the condition of the record.

Key Features:

Full differential inputs/outputs circuits

High-precision RIAA EQ circuit achieves less than 0.05dB of deviation

Individual EQ curves for monaural records and those with EQ from DECCA and COLUMBIA

Balanced MC input

Switchable MC impedance (10, 22, 47, 100, 220, 470, 1kΩ)

Switchable MM load-impedance capacity (0, 100, 220, 330pF)

MC load-impedance measurement function

Switchable MM/MC gain (High/Low)

Subsonic detection

Subsonic filter (17Hz, –24dB/oct.)

MONO function that mixes left and right channels as a monaural channel

DEMAG function that de-magnetises the cartridge

3-position pinpoint feet

GND terminal

RoHS compliant
