Part of the Firebottle Towers clearout of unused kit.

This preamplifier was my daily driver for a long time but has now been superseded by alternative equipment.

Phono input: MM gain 39dB, input impedance 47 Kohm, MC gain 65dB, input impedance dependent on loading plugs fitted.

Mundorf ZN coupling capacitors and close tolerance polystyrene capacitors for the RIAA equalisation.
