LN108 Tube Phono Preamp


Precise RIAA correction.
8Hz subsonic filter.
MM 40dB gain
Low noise: 81dB SNR.
Small size.


The LN108 tube phono preamp  provides precision amplification and RIAA correction for MM cartridges. Standard input load is 47K and 120pF; others are available. A 8Hz subsonic filter suppresses all frequencies below 8 Hz while keeping the in band sound signals unaffected.
The subsonic filter greatly reduces unwanted cone movements due to record warp, etc.
Power is provided using a 15VDC wall adapter. This is a cost effective way to provide power while eliminating powerline hum.
We use the highest quality parts, 1% metal film resistors and 2% polypropylene capacitors for superior sound. The preamp uses 3 12AX7WA dual triode  tubes. We normally use Sovtek, but can also supply other brands. Each channel uses two triodes for voltage amplification and one triode as a cathode follower. The  RIAA network uses a passive configuration. The power for the filaments is regulated 12VDC, using an internal voltage regulator. A DC/DC converter steps the 12V to 240VDC plate voltage.
The LN108 can be used "stand alone" or can be built into the base of the turntable or into existing preamps.
