Benz Micro Lukaschek PP1 MC Phono Preamplifier

Benz Micro Lukaschek PP1 MC Phono Preamplifier featuring 62 dB of gain, 22k ohm input impedance, RIAA equalization accurate within +/-0.5 dB, a 10 Hz rumble filter, and support for cartridges with output as low as 0.2 mV, this Swiss-engineered unit is crafted specifically for low-output moving coil cartridges. Its ultra-compact chassis allows close proximity to your turntable, shortening tonearm lead runs to prevent signal loss. An outboard power transformer keeps magnetic interference away from the internal circuitry, while 1% metal film resistors and 1% polystyrene capacitors maintain ultra-short signal paths for ultimate purity.

Audio critics and reviewers highly acclaim the PP1, earning it top honors like The Absolute Sound's Golden Ear Award. Reviewers highlight its ability to deliver deep, solid bass alongside effortless, open highs completely devoid of smearing or grain. The soundstage receives equal praise for its remarkable depth, pinpoint imaging, and edge-to-edge focus. Audiophiles consistently emphasize its lightning-fast transient response, exceptional clarity, and dark, quiet background that lets intricate detail emerge naturally.

Extracting every subtle nuance from a premium moving coil cartridge requires a dedicated phono stage that honors signal purity without adding distortion or noise. The PP1 achieves this balance masterfully, transforming raw groove details into dynamic, room-filling sound. Investing in this Swiss precision component elevates your analog source, ensuring your vinyl collection is experienced with uncompromised transparency, dimensionality, and realism.
