{"title":"Phono Preamplifiers","description":"If you’re a vinyl lover, having a high-quality phono preamplifier is essential to getting the best possible sound from your turntable and LPs. Paragon offers a variety of phono preamps at a wide-range of price points and capabilities. Shop below to find the right phono preamplifier for your system.\n\u003c!-- split --\u003e\nA phono preamplifier (also called a phono stage) is a dedicated separate preamplifier for your turntable. Why do you need a separate phono stage? A good phono stage offers dedicated amplification for your turntable signal, and as a result, better analog sound quality. A turntable demands more amplification than digital sources, and the phono cartridge on your turntable also influences amplification demand. For example, a moving coil (MC) phono cartridge has lower output than a moving-magnet (MM) type, so the MC needs even more amplification. A phono preamplifier has built-in settings to regulate the different amplification demands, and allows you to switch between them. A separate phono preamplifier also gives you the opportunity to match an analog source with analog sound from vacuum tubes, without having your digital inputs play through tubes (if you don't like tube sound for digital).

The trick is getting that sound off the record and into your speakers. Dan D’Agostino always found this task challenging … yet irresistible. He knew that no matter how much care he took in the design of his phono preamps, there was always more soul lurking within those grooves. With the Momentum Phonostage, he has finally extracted every last bit of music hidden in even the most microscopic fluctuations in the finest vinyl records. \u003c!-- TABS --\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eOVERVIEW\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHow did Dan do it? By combining the finest possible analog circuitry with the precision of digital control. Every adjustment is right there on the front panel of the Momentum Phonostage, with its own LED readout. You can reach them easily, without opening up the component, without having to go into onscreen menus, and without having to fuss with DIP switches or analog controls. They practically beg you to experiment! Pushbuttons on the front precisely control gain, resistive loading for the two MC inputs, resistive and capacitive loading for the MM input, and record EQ curve.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Knowing that even the best circuitry is no better than the electricity that powers it, Dan gave the Momentum Phonostage what may well be the cleanest AC power supply ever created for a phono preamp. The Phonostage uses not one, but two separate power supply components: a transformer that sits on the floor, and power rectification and regulation circuits built into the base on which the Phonostage sits. Thus, the sensitive phono preamp circuits are double-isolated from the transformer electrically, and also separated by a safe physical distance.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e As an audiophile, Dan likes to follow his muse, changing and expanding his system in whatever way the music demands. He can’t stand it when an audio component imposes limitations on his ideas, and that’s why he gave the Momentum Phonostage enough inputs to handle multiple tonearms and even turntables. It has two moving-coil inputs and two moving-magnet inputs, each with XLR and RCA jacks, plus XLR and RCA outputs.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The Momentum Phonostage uses the best parts available (and Dan’s tried most of them), and employs through-hole construction for maximum possible sound quality and reliability.

Well-tried characteristics remain the same, but many things were fundamentally adapted, as if leaping a fifth, in order to prepare for the next millennium. (Due to this leap of a fifth, there is no MK 4 version. 4 is also an unlucky number in Asia, and with respect to this important market we will no longer have a 4 in our newer model names.) \u003c!-- TABS --\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eOVERVIEW\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the year 2000 the 808 celebrated its 20th anniversary, it has been in production continually since August 1980 (hence the name: 80=1980, 8=August). Several reasons for Burmester Audiosystems to celebrate:\u003cbr\u003e • new reference titles, for example in the USA (5 stars from The Absolute Sound)\u003cbr\u003e • most sold version of the 808\u003cbr\u003e • the encasement, the module slots as well as the bottom plate are now painted\/anodized silver.\u003cbr\u003e This way, the 808 matches the design of the other Reference Line models. \u003cbr\u003e The 808 has often been compared to the 911 Porsche: ‘This one you’ll probably be building forever!’ We are happy about the lively encouragement for the 808 with its unique concept and design (copies exist: see Cello).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eFEATURES\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe modular concept, which connects the input and output modules by using a bus system, was newly optimized with great effort. A completely new addition is the IR remote control. Volume is set in 60 logarithmically tuned steps by a passive R-2R network consisting of precision resistors and gold-plated Reed relays. Only this extreme sophistication can guarantee the desired 100 percent equal channel balance. In remote mode, the mechanical precision volume control functions to set a maximum volume limit. The new metal hand-held remote control 003 is supplied as standard.\u003cbr\u003e The complete internal circuitry for signal paths now consists of Burmester silver cable, which is shielded electrically as well as magnetically. The power supply of the 808 MK 5 has been completely reworked and is now housed in a casing as big as a basic power amp. This power supply provides the DC necessary for the 808 MK 5 (and only DC is transferred into the preamp from the power supply via an 18-pin shielded cable). Two 50VA transformers with overall 163.000 μF filtering capacitance provide an ultra clean and stable power supply, and steep roll-off HF-filters provide an extremely clean DC-voltage. The individual audio amplification stages of the 808 are decoupled against the supply voltages. \u003cbr\u003e As with the 808 MK 3 XLR version, the four possible balanced inputs are now connected using gold-plated 3-pin Cannon (XLR) terminals located on the rear of the component. Depending on preference, six of the ten inputs can be equipped with balanced or unbalanced modules.\u003cbr\u003e All modules of the 808 MK 5 are equipped with class-A X-amp amplification stages. Layout design of all modules is discrete, which means their components have been carefully selected and paired using a special colour code. The input and output modules are adjustable via proprietary potentiometers individually for each channel. If the controls are turned to their maximum level, they function as a switch and are shorted out of the signal path.\u003cbr\u003e Two 24-step precision volume controls for the separately controlled outputs allow a direct comparison of two power amps, as well as independent access to different living areas. Like all Burmester Reference Line components, the 808 MK 5 now rests on a 15 mm thick bottom plate made of aluminum. In connection with the spiked feet, which rest on carbon fiber spring pucks, vibrations and footfall effects of any kind are effectively avoided. The MC2 module is a completely new design; its sophisticated circuitry was partially realized in SMD technology. The MC2 offers fully balanced signal processing and DC-coupling. The 808 MK 5 has remote facilities to switch up to four Burmester power amps on and off.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eSPECIFICATIONS\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInputs: max. 4 XLR \/ 7 RCA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePhono Input: optional MM \/ MC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOutputs: 2 XLR, 2 RCA, 2 tape out, (1 XLR, 1 RCA)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eModule slots: Input: 6, Output: 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOptional modules: Phono MC \/ MM, Line\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSurround Thruput: yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRemote controlled: yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eREMOTE INPUT\/ OUTPUT: 0 \/ 4\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInput Impedance XLR\/RCA: 10 kΩ\/ 10 kΩ\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOutput Impedance XLR\/RCA: 40 Ω\/ 26 Ω\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInput Sensitivity re. 1 V: 110 mV\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMax. output level: 21.5 V\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFrequency response -3 dB: \u0026lt; 10 Hz - 680 kHz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSignal-to-noise-ratio: \u0026gt; 107 dB\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpecial features: Dual zone operation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWidth: 483 mm (19,1’’) x Height: 174.5 mm (6.9’’) x Depth: 378 mm (14.9’’)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: 22 kg (48.5 Ibs)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e 808 MK5 POWER SUPPLY\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: 10 kg\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWidth: 482 mm x Height: 96 mm x Depth: 335 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!-- \/TABS --\u003e","brand":"Burmester","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39596205572159,"sku":"","price":77000.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0242\/3334\/5087\/products\/burmester_808mk5_1000x1000__0003_MD_Motiv18-808_1x1_fs.jpg?v=1644610321"},{"product_id":"atoll-ph100-phono-preamplifier","title":"ATOLL PH100 Phono Preamplifier","description":"The PH100 phono preamp is an external module that has a specific power supply consisting of 2 high-end transformers (one per channel) with very low noise as well as 4 voltage regulators.

Like its predecessor, the HP 700, it meets the listener's individual wishes for their high-end combination thanks to its modular freedom. The new SE version now has two parallel XLR sockets next to the two RCA outputs on the back, allowing all variants of bi-amping. But even more important are the modifications to the actual Class A output stage.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eFEATURES\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\nRefined tube technology and intelligent modular technology made the HP 700 future-proof right from the start - an innovation in the market. Now it was time to push the innovative HP 700 even further in terms of sound and technology. The new HP 700 SE is a tube preamplifier that features both new precision technology and tonal refinements of the output stage. Like its predecessor, its modular freedom meets the listener's individual demand for truly customized high-end setup. Instead of being bound by the fixed audio and technical parameters of the equipment, listeners can adapt the technology of the HP 700 SE to their individual requirements and preferences.\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nIn the new SE version, there are now two parallel XLR sockets next to the two RCA outputs on the back panel, allowing all types of bi-amping. But the modifications of the actual Class-A-output stage are even more important. The search for the even finer sound took place with the help of extremely time-consuming and complex measurements, along with accompanying listening sessions. These difficult adjustments are responsible for the tonal improvements, especially the mid-tone of the pre-amplifier. The tube configuration remains unchanged compared to the predecessor HP 700, as do all the other tried-and-tested technical refinements on this incomparable preamp:\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\nPRECISION TECHNOLOGY IN THE LINE STAGE\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\nThe term \"precision technology\" stands for a circuit in tube technology that has an extreme bandwidth up to 1 MHz, an impressively low output resistance of 100 ohms and sensationally low distortion of 0.001 %. Three amplification settings, combined with selectable output impedance, enable perfect fine-tuning of the HP 700 SE to the characteristics of the sound reproduction chain. The three-stage amplification settings allow optimal matching of the volume control to the efficiency of the speaker.\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\nPSU TECHNOLOGY\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\nIn combination with the newly developed, high-precision, low-noise supply-voltage stabilizing circuitry, the separate, magnetically shielded, outboard power supply of the HP 700 SE (essential for the low-noise and low-hum function of the MC-input) ensures constancy of the audio output even when the mains voltage is subject to wide fluctuations and high interference levels. Added to this, the integrated control logic system guarantees maximum operational reliability and, backed by our exclusive soft-start technologies, ensures the tubes and the unit have a life of up to twenty years.\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\nBYPASS\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\nThe multi-channel bypass function allows the HP 700 SE to be integrated into an existing home-theater system. The logic-controlled input selector circuitry enables activation of the bypass function for an XLR or RCA input on the preamp's rear panel. The Home Cinema signal is present at all three outputs.\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\nADDITIONAL INDIVIDUALIZATION OPTIONS: MODULAR INPUTS\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\nThe connection possibilities of the generously configured standard HP 700 SE model are rounded off by two user-selectable, optional input modules. An optimized input module can be used for unique applications, for anything from an MC step-up transformer to a transformer-based XLR input module. The plug and play modules can be readily installed or upgraded at any time. PHONO Innovative technology has also been applied in the redesign of the Phono RIAA amplifier. The further development of the RIAA stage has improved the signal\/noise ratio, while simultaneously reducing system-related distortion. The widening of the bandwidth enables accurate RIAA equalization and exploits the full potential of analog reproduction. The wide variety of optional input modules ensures that the optimal input can be installed for any cartridge.\n\n \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\nTONE CONTROL\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\nPRECISON TONE CONTROL\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\nAnother innovation, the optional tone control, rounds off the HP 700 SE modularity. The valve-based, precision tone control unit guarantees consistency of the sound, even at low volume. Precise adjustment of bass and treble, with a 0.3 dB channel separation, allows the tone to be adjusted without impairing the spatial reproduction.\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\nBALANCE CONTROL\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\nThe frequency-compensated balance control allows channel-separated volume adjustment in 1 dB steps.

At 0.1 dB, the channel deviation is supreme. Our own in-house development, the volume control design constantly maintains the frequency bandwidth throughout the entire control range, reducing controller-related distortion to a barely measurable level. However, as a result of the mechanical design of the stepped attenuator, the switch positions cannot be controlled via the remote control.\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\nOf course, the HP 700 SE has power management with soft start electronics, gain selector, monitor\/record output and the HT bypass.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch5\u003eOPTIONS\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\nPhono RIAA HP 700 (SE):\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\nThe further development of the RIAA stage of the HP 700 (SE) increases the signal-to-noise ratio while reducing system-related equalization errors.

Perfectly hand assembled in Japan, this attenuator uses exotic resistors solely created for sound reproduction. Comprising of a special carbon formulation with thick gold over oxygen free copper leads, these parts are of ultimate choice.\u003cbr\u003eSource selection is performed by a rotary switch built specifically for the most demanding of audio applications. Thus all manner of relays, complex support circuitry and sound destroying printed circuit board tracks have been eschewed entirely. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eDC Reactor power supply\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTo decouple the K-10’ s performance from impure AC supply lines we have adopted a heavy DC Reactor type power supply that delivers valuable advantages over other types of supply. The reactor’ s performance is further enhanced by the use of our own designed for audio, discrete zero feedback regulator to provide the amplifier with pristine DC current. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTriple screened chassis\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA robust chassis creates a full copper envelope surrounding all components of the K-10 to shield them from the influences of external electromagnetic and radio frequency interference. Sensitive components within the ITC gain stage are further shielded by “double encapsulation” – a separate copper shell and a custom made mu-metal capsule within. The power supply is housed in its own “magnetic vault” made of 2mm thick soft iron plate. A sandwich floor construction with constrained layer damping and hemispherical sorbothane feet provide additional isolation from unwanted vibrations. Electrically, thermally and acoustically this lavish assembly sets an excellent operating environment for the enclosed electronics. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSingle ended and balanced output of equal performance\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eProviding single ended and balanced outputs of identical performance presents a challenge to pre-amplifier designers.
