About ART Precision Phono Preamplifier for Moving Coil and Moving Magnet Cartridges

If you're a music enthusiast looking to elevate your turntable's performance, the ART Precision Phono Preamplifier is an exceptional choice. Designed for both moving coil and moving magnet cartridges, this preamp is a uniquely affordable solution that enhances the sonic quality of your vinyl records. Moving coil cartridges are renowned for their ability to deliver a detailed and nuanced soundscape, offering a wider frequency range and faster transient response compared to the more common moving magnet designs. This makes them a preferred choice among audiophiles seeking the ultimate listening experience.

However, moving coil cartridges typically produce a lower signal level, necessitating a preamp with sufficient gain to fully leverage their strengths. The ART Precision Phono Preamplifier addresses this need with its switchable modes, accommodating both moving coil and moving magnet cartridges seamlessly. For added sonic flexibility, the input loading for the moving coil input is adjustable between 25 and 100 ohms.

This preamplifier also features up to 10 dB of boost or cut, ensuring proper gain-staging for optimal audio performance. Additionally, a low-cut filter is included to eliminate unwanted rumble and resonance, preserving the clarity of your sound. The gold-plated outputs provide durable, corrosion-free connections, ensuring long-lasting performance.

Meticulously designed to adapt as your audio system evolves, the ART Precision Phono Preamplifier ensures your vinyl collection sounds its best, regardless of the cartridge type. Note: 0 dBu = 0.775Vrms.
