The SP20 is fully balanced, pure Class-A with zero feedback. There are seven levels of voltage regulation, a large power supply, and a very low-noise R-core power transformer. Both the line and phono stages feature low-noise JFET inputs and 6H30 (2 per section) outputs. The latest high performance coupling and bypass capacitors are used in both stages. Both the line stage and phono preamplifier offer extraordinary frequency response and low noise. The phono section provides 58dB of gain, so the SP20 can be used with a wide variety of phono cartridges, including moderately low output moving coils.
OVERVIEW
Great condition pre-owned Audio Research SP20 Preamplifier, Black finish, Silver remote.
Unit come in its original box and packaging with manual, power cord and remote.
The unit is rated a 8 out of 10 due to wear consistent with use.
