Description
You are bidding on an Emotiva Audio XPS-1 Gen 2 Phono Preamp, which handles both MM and MC cartridges. This preamp is in excellent condition and will ship in its original box. Unless youre planning on dropping close to $1K for a phono stage, youre not going to do a whole lot better than this. Emotiva is known for high quality and high value, and the XPS-1 is a perfect example of this. The XPS-1 accepts standard RCA inputs and outputs, and will work with any equipment which offers line level analog inputs, which makes it an excellent way to add a high-quality phono input to your favorite integrated amp or preamp. In fact, even ultra-budget amps/preamps like the Arylic B50/B50 SE or BP50, or similar offerings from SMSL, Douk Audio, Fosi and the like, many of which are otherwise outstanding for their price, have either no phono stage, or include a dedicated phono input thats, well, lets say sonically-challenged. In other words, they suck. So this XPS-1 might allow you to get away with using your favorite budget amp, and still be able to enjoy your classic vinyl without cringing at the audio quality. The XPS-1 features high-quality components throughout the signal path for accurate RIAA equalization, extremely low noise for even low-output cartridges, and ultra-low distortion. Special attention was paid to the low-noise power supplies; both the external highly regulated AC supply and the individual switching supplies within the XPS-1. The circuitry in the XPS-1 is designed to provide optimum gain and noise performance for both moving magnet (MM) and moving coil (MC) cartridges. Best of all, you can manualy set the load impedance on the MC input to get the best sound for your specific cartridge. =Features=Support for both moving magnet (MM) and moving coil (MC) cartridges.Precise equalization to the standard RIAA curve (within +/- 0.25 dB).User selectable termination impedance for Moving Coil cartridges.Exceptional signal-to-noise ratio and very low distortion.Sophisticated multi-stage power supply for superior noise performance.All metal case for ruggedness and excellent immunity from noise and interference.Convenient form factor for placement close to the turntable.Gold plated solid brass input connectors, output connectors, and ground terminal.Ideal for adding high-quality phono inputs to any stereo preamp or pre/pro.Small and economical enough that you can use one for each turntable.=Audio Specifications=Input Impedance: MM: 47k Ohms.
