Model 2200 Hybrid Phono Preamplifier

$1,599.00

This is my newest top-of-the-line phono preamp. Based on the original award-winning all-tube Model 1000, the new Model 2200 uses Hybrid Mu-Stage voltage amplifiers for a new level of resolution and detail. This gain block, first published by Mr. Alan Kimmel over three decades ago, uses a vacuum tube triode for voltage gain loaded by a FET current source/voltage follower for ultra low distortion and exceptional power supply rejection. The result? My quietest, clearest-sounding phono preamp yet, with the same highly musical quality of the original.

  • 40 dB gain is ideal for MM and high-output MC cartridges, and low-output MC with external stepup

  • Handcrafted in USA with USA-made chassis and circuit boards

  • Top-quality components; silver/Teflon chassis wiring; new low-noise power supply with toroidal power transformer

  • Premium 6922 tubes selected for low noise and microphonics

  • Rigorous quality control and extremely reliable design for decades of musical enjoyment!
