Denon AU-300LC head amp

[ianlenco]

Recent changes in amplification mean I don't have a mm input and will probably buy a Tisbury Audio Domino to do both mm and mc. If anyone has a Domino they'd like to trade great, otherwise this head amp can by yours for £115 posted to UK mainland. Anywhere else please pm me for postage costs.

Perfect condition and worked very well with my Ortofon Rondo Bronze.

That looks very like a step up transformer rather than a head amp Ian.

What is the step up ratio? Found it, 10:1
Is there a pass through function?

[ianlenco]

Hi Alan, my ignorance, thought they were the same thing. I don't think there's a pass through function, connections are just in and out.

No worries.
Step up transformers are passive and can impart a slight signature to the sound, usually give a very open and airy sound, IME.

Head amps are active devices, hence the 'amp'. Cheaper ones can impart a little noise, most are generally very flat response.

Now sold, thanks
