NAD PP2 PHONO PRE-AMPLIFIER

-->







NAD PP2 TURNTABLE PHONO PRE-AMPLIFIER
This is a phono  pre-amplifier to use with stereo amplifiers that do not have a phono input or may have a poor quality inbuilt phono stage pre-amp. The rear has inputs to connect to your turntable and outputs to your amplifier.
I bought this unit new when I upgraded a stereo amplifier, it has had very little use, turned on approximately 20 times.  It works well and has no faults that I am aware of.  It is a simply presented, well constructed device that does a very good job.  It is in excellent condition and has no damage, no scratches or chips to the paint. 
Included is the external 24 volt power supply and an audio lead.  I do not have the original box, there is no manual, but I have included sections of the original box which I kept as it had information printed on it. The device measures 135 mm x 90 mm x 50 mm.
Some information copied from the NAD website.
• Selectable MM and MC Phono Stage
• External 24 volt Power Supply
• Gold Plated Sockets
• Close Tolerance High Quality Components
• LED Power Indicator

Many of today's stereo and AV amplifiers and receivers have either eliminated the phonograph input altogether, or included a low cost - and low performance - circuit for attaching your turntable. The PP 2 offers superb performance in a neat and simple package for a very reasonable cost The PP2 has a high gain Moving Coil Cartridge input allowing proper matching to virtually any high quality turntable/cartridge combination. It also includes a grounding terminal post, and gold plated input and output sockets.

It uses costly metal film resistors and film type capacitors in the signal path.  It uses a 24 volts power supply which has improved overload margins and enhanced musical dynamics.
