Description -ELEKIT Vacuum Tube Preamp Kit TU-8500- Product Overview In recent years, reissues of classic albums from the past have become popular, especially among seniors who feel nostalgic for analog records. With the release of new analog records by popular artists, there is also a growing trend among the younger generation who are unfamiliar with analog records to appreciate the quality of the sound of analog records. The "Vacuum Tube Preamp Kit (TU-8500)" is a vacuum tube preamp equipped with a phono equalizer amplifier required to play analog records, and can be directly connected to a record player. This vacuum tube amplifier brings out the quality of the sound of analog records, proposing a rich way to enjoy music. Features of this unit: Equipped with a phono equalizer amplifier, you can play records by connecting an analog player. The equalizer amplifier uses a CR type that prioritizes sound quality, and supports both MM and MC cartridges. The equalizer amplifier section uses a low-noise selected OP amplifier (socket type that can be replaced with other OP amplifiers). The flat amplifier section uses a 12AU7 (ECC82) vacuum tube, and the gain can be switched between approximately 3x and 1x. The power supply uses a low-leakage R-core transformer, the B power supply uses a FET ripple filter, and the vacuum tube is lit with DC to thoroughly suppress hum noise. The coupling capacitor has space to be replaced with a larger one. The size and design are a perfect match for our power amplifier "6L6GC Single Vacuum Tube Amplifier Kit [TU-8200]". The power supply is equipped with a power transformer that can support four power supply voltage zones so that it can be used overseas (selected during assembly).
