DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION 

The Phono 10 utilizes high quality electronic circuitry to achieve an environment wherein a detailed, transparent 
and highly musical sound can be realized. The high quality parts complement includes state-of-the-art solid state 
devices, 1% metal film resistors, polypropylene capacitors and a low noise toroidal transformer. 
 

PHONO 10 CONNECTIONS 

All leads should be connected securely to the input and output terminals. Loose connections can lead to impaired 
performance, noise interference and possible damage to your equipment. When making connection changes of 
any sort (reinserting input lead pins, changing phono cartridges, etc.), be sure to first turn your receiver or 
preamplifier's power off as well as the Phono 10’s power (light indicator off). Typical interconnections are 
illustrated in Figure 1.

NOTE:

 A grounding post is provided for connection to the phono player.
