Fully Balanced Preamp with MM Phono Input and Headphone Output

The NuPrime PRA-9X is a fully balanced preamplifier designed for ultra-low distortion (THD+N of 0.0004%) that includes a MM phono input and a 6.3mm headphone output. There are a variety of settings for matching different MM cartridges.

The input and output use a special audio Relay Switch, which has the lowest interference and highly accurate transmission, to switch the source. Line Outputs include four NuPrime’s new ultra-low distortion amplifier modules (THD=0.0004%) composed of MUSES8820 op-amp in a new amplifying circuit. It has excellent ultra-low distortion and high driving force characteristics.

The phono input has a variety of settings for input resistors and capacitors to match different MM cartridges. PRA-9X phono amplifier is a 2-stage RIAA amplifier that utilises NJR MUSES8820 audio quality op-amp to provide an accurate RIAA curve and low distortion at high amplification and performance.

Features:

  • LP vinyl RIAA phono amplifier circuit, with adjustable input capacitance and impedance.
  • Input and output fully balanced preamp.
  • Utilizing the MUSES8820 bipolar-input dual op-amp module, PRA-9X can reproduce the presence of an orchestra as experienced in a symphony concert and the breathing sound of a player in a live music house.
  • NuPrime’s next generation current booster circuit, providing top 0.0004% (7.5Vrms) THD performance and 114dB signal-to-noise ratio (S/N).
  • High-performance headphone amp output.
  • Input and output Trigger for power on/off control of multiple devices.

Superb

Exc preamp, it really enhanced all my system, in all aspects. This had been the most dramatically upgrade I have made in my stereo in years.
