With 30 years' experience designing state-of-the-art discrete transistor circuits, we have built a phono preamplifier like no other. It is neutral, dynamic, and exceptionally revealing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!-- more --\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!--first paragraph--\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!--product details start--\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eListening to vinyl is a tactile experience. You carefully open the album jacket, remove the record from the inner sleeve, inspect for dust or scratches, place it on the platter, and slowly let the needle drop to let the sound out. It is all about you and your music, selected for exactly this moment. With the V10 we aim to make this special experience even better. Developed from the ground up and utilizing truly clever and unique technologies, the V10 will give you unprecedented transparency and soundscape – Making the music you hear as tangible and real as the record it is pressed into.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe achieve this because everything on the V10 is designed with the sole purpose of making your music sound as good as possible. The chassis is divided into two compartments, physically separating the power supplies from the sensitive amplification circuitry. There is simply no detectable interference between the two parts. For the best possible connection, we have fitted the V10 with gold-plated terminals, balanced XLR outputs, and a solid custom grounding screw. On the all-important input stage, we have used ultra-low-noise discrete JFET transistors for both the Moving Magnet (MM) and Moving Coil (MC) input. Eliminating external noise is especially important when using sensitive low output MC cartridges. That is why we have fitted the MC input with four such transistors connected in parallel. Making the input completely silent and stopping any bias current feedback to the cartridge coil.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe input signal feeds into equally silent amplifier circuits, where both the MM and the MC gain stages use ultra-low-noise power supplies built with discrete bipolar transistors to keep the signal noise at a minimum. This ensures an extremely accurate amplification of the input signal coming from the turntable. And to make sure the V10 gets the best-operating conditions, it is supplied with a linear, low noise, analog AC-power supply. This features a large, custom design, E-core transformer, placed in its own housing to eliminate all possibility of interference. For us, it has been particularly important that all vinyl enthusiasts get to enjoy the V10. So, out of the box it is configured as an excellent plug-and-play MM preamplifier. For many, this is exactly what they want and need, but some want even more. That is why we made the V10 highly optimizable, catering to individual preferences and requirements in set up, the V10 can be adjusted for any MM and MC cartridge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen using a MM cartridge, you can freely increase the Capacitance between 100 and 467 pF and when using an MC cartridge, the impedance can be set freely between 33 and 550 ohms or fixed at 47 Kohm. On both MM and MC, the gain can be increased by 5, 10 or 12 dB, matching the output of your other sources, the V10 even has a Subsonic Filter to remove unwanted low-frequency noise. And at the end of the night, when the listening session takes you way past bedtime and you forget to turn off the V10, the adjustable auto standby function does that for you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!--product details end--\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!--tech specs content start--\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAmplifier Typology:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ultra low noise discrete JFET transistor input stage for both MC and MM\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGain XLR Out MM:\u003c\/strong\u003e 40dB \/ 45dB \/ 50dB \/ 52dB\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGain XLR Out MC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 60dB \/ 65dB \/ 70dB \/ 72dB\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGain RCA Out MM:\u003c\/strong\u003e 34dB \/ 39dB \/ 44dB \/ 46dB\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGain RCA Out MC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 54dB \/ 59dB \/ 64dB \/ 66dB\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMC Load Impedance:\u003c\/strong\u003e Freely adjustable between 33 and 550 ohm \/ 47 kohm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMM Load Capacitance:\u003c\/strong\u003e 100pF \/ 147pF \/ 220pF \/ 247pF \/ 320pF \/ 420pF \/ 467pF @ 47 kohm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSubsonic Filter:\u003c\/strong\u003e Switchable on \/ off, -3dB at 20Hz, -18dB octave\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRIAA Accuracy:\u003c\/strong\u003e +\/- 0,2dB \/ 20Hz - 20kHz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOutput Noise*:\u003c\/strong\u003e -84dB\/MM (\"A\" weighted ref: 0dBV), -81dB\/MC (\"A\" weighted ref: 0dBV)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOutput Impedance XLR \/ RCA:\u003c\/strong\u003e 200 ohm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChannel Crosstalk:\u003c\/strong\u003e -84dB @1kHz 0dBV\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFrequency Response:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2Hz - 20kHz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDistortion (THD) MM:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u0026lt; 0.005% @1kHz 0dBV\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDistortion (THD) MC:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u0026lt; 0.009% @1kHz 0dBV\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInputs:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1 x unbalanced (RCA) MM, 1 x unbalanced (RCA) MC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOutputs:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1 x unbalanced fixed (RCA), 1 x balanced fixed (XLR)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePower Adapter:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hegel Power Adapter M30103\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions with Feet:\u003c\/strong\u003e 6cm x 21cm x 28cm, 2.4\" x 8,3\" x 11\" (H x W x D)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2,2kg \/ 4,9lbs unit weight\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c!--tech specs content end--\u003e","brand":"Hegel","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54323761414467,"sku":"HGLV10-OB","price":955.12,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/4696\/7399\/products\/HegelV10PhonoPre-Amplifier-A.jpg?v=1619174520","url":"https:\/\/www.hifihut.com\/products\/hegel-v10-phono-pre-amplifier-open-box","provider":"HifiHut","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
