    Gato Audio PPA-1

    Converting tiny vinyl tracks into a large-scale musical experience, as PPA-1 does, is possible only with the utmost attention to detail. We used all our experience in circuit engineering and attracted leading analog sound experts to create this outstanding phono corrector with a hybrid circuit on discrete and integrated amplifiers, including a new balanced output stage on discrete FET transistors.
