The MM/MC tube phono corrector is of the highest category with unbalanced and balanced inputs and outputs, a circuit without general negative feedback on 8 carefully selected lamps, fully differentially balanced, a rectifier on a cenotron. Simultaneous connection of the MM and MC pickups is allowed due to the presence of separate corresponding inputs.

    Phonostages

    Canor Audio PH 1.10

    MM/MC tube phono corrector with a cenotron rectifier in the power supply (anode voltage). A 9-lamp circuit without a common OOS, all lamps and passive components are carefully selected according to parameters. The transition capacitors are high-grade polypropylene. The MS input is equipped with a Lundahl boost transformer. The MM and MS inputs can be connected to the signal sources simultaneously without mutual influence.
