Alchemy PPA-2 Phono Preamplifier

Alchemy PPA-2 Phono Preamplifier

Introducing the ELAC Audio Alchemy PPA-2 Phono Preamplifier, a testament to the art of preserving and enhancing the timeless warmth of vinyl records. Merging cutting-edge technology with a profound respect for analog audio, this preamplifier redefines the vinyl listening experience. With meticulous attention to detail and a commitment to sonic purity, the PPA-2 transports you into the heart of your vinyl collection, unveiling the richness and authenticity of each track.

Exceptional sound quality

The PPA-2 is designed to extract the maximum amount of detail from your vinyl records. Its fully discrete, balanced FET topology, DC servo-controlled output stage, and precise continuously variable MC cartridge loading settings all contribute to its outstanding sound quality.

Toroidal Transformer

This design's inherent characteristics, such as reduced electromagnetic interference and noise, ensure a clean and stable power delivery to the preamplifier's circuitry. By minimizing magnetic field leakage and providing a more efficient and regulated voltage output, the toroidal power supply significantly reduces unwanted noise and interference, preserving the authenticity and fidelity of the analog audio signal extracted from vinyl records.

Versatility

The PPA-2 is compatible with a wide range of MM and MC cartridges. It also has a variety of user-adjustable settings, such as continuously variable input impedance and high-pass filter, that allow you to fine-tune the sound for your specific system.
