Benz Micro Lukascheck PP1 MC Transformer (with RIAA Equalizer)
The small size of the PP-1 allows close placement to the turntable, minimising signal leads from the tonearm. The whole power supply is inboard the PP-1 chassis except for an external power transformer, which is outboard to eliminate magnetic field interaction. The miniature size of the PP-1 allows all circuit components to be very close to one another. This significantly reduces circuit board traces, which could introduce noise and sonic degradation. The PP-1 is optimised for moving coil amplification, thus does not provide switches and or jumpers for gain setting or resistive loading. This elimination of unneeded circuit junction points preserves the low noise/high performance characteristics of this superb phono preamp.

CLEARAUDIO PERFORMER V2 MM CARTRIDGE
PRECISION ENGINEERING IN THE PURSUIT OF THE BEST SOUND
CLEARAUDIO'S V2 MM TECHNOLOGY USES EBONY AS A RESONANCE RESISTANT BODY.
OTHER INGREDIENTS OF THE RECIPE FOR SUCCESS ARE THE MOST EFFECTIVE REDUCTION OF MOVING MASS, AN OPTIMIZED POLISHING TECHNIQUE FOR THE STYLUS AND HIGHLY EFFECTIVE CARTRIDGE DAMPING.
CLEARAUDIO VIRTUOSO V2 MM CARTRIDGE
The Clearaudio V2 moving magnet cartridges are meticulously measured, analysed, and hand-selected into four performance levels. In this way Clearaudio achieves the best stereo channel matching, minimum phase error and distortion, flattest frequency response and highest dynamic range at each price point.
The cartridges produce an audiophile sound of superlative quality – spatially detailed and vividly textured, with bass that does not wallow and treble that is not harsh. The models of the Clearaudio MM V2 series provide outstanding sound quality on all current tonearms.
With the exception of the MM V2 Concept, which is made of aluminium, all the cartridges in this series are made with housings of hand-polished ebony – the key to record-breaking weight values.
