There is no built-in DAC and wireless modules, but there is traditionally an excellent phono corrector for heads with a movable magnet and a movable coil (MM/MS), which allows you to adjust the capacitance and resistance values for different pickups. The device is built on one 12AT7 lamp and five 12AX7A lamps, which can be observed by looking at the device from above – all the vacuum elements are placed on the top panel.
