Lehmann Audio - Decade - MM & MC Phono Pre-Amplifier
The Lehmann Audio Decade is a top-tier phono pre-amplifier designed for audiophiles who demand the highest level of performance from both MM (Moving Magnet) and MC (Moving Coil) cartridges. Known for its transparency, detail, and dynamic range, the Decade delivers an exceptionally rich and accurate sound, making it a reference-level choice for serious vinyl enthusiasts. It reproduces every nuance of your records with remarkable clarity, offering a wide soundstage and precise imaging.
What sets the Decade apart is its high-grade power supply and advanced circuitry, which ensure an ultra-low noise floor and distortion-free performance. The selectable gain and loading options allow users to perfectly match the pre-amplifier to their cartridge, providing the flexibility to get the best sound out of any turntable setup. The external power supply further improves stability, resulting in cleaner and more powerful sound reproduction.
For audiophiles who seek uncompromising quality in their vinyl playback, the Lehmann Audio Decade is an outstanding phono pre-amplifier, delivering high-fidelity sound with precision and warmth.
Please note: This unit is initially configured to work with MM cartridges (Moving Magnet) at the factory. However, it can also be set up to accommodate both MM and MC cartridges (Moving Coil). To use an MC cartridge, you must manually adjust the selectable switch settings provided by the manufacturer.
Caution: This unit should not to be plugged into a phono input. It must be plugged into an AUX input. Using the phono input will reduce sound quality since it duplicates the RIAA phono stage EQ process. Please plug the turntable phono leads into any line-level input such as "CD" or "Tuner".
