The Luxman E-07 Phono Preamplifier is an all-solid-state phono stage featuring a non-feedback RIAA equalisation circuit with four parallel low-noise FETs in the primary input stage. Designed to amplify the most delicate voltages generated by vinyl turntables, it provides clean, quiet signal boosting while preserving natural musical dynamics across moving magnet and moving coil cartridges.Tailored Cartridge Matching:Different vinyl cartridges require specific resistance and capacitance values to reveal their full tonal character. The front panel features a six-position impedance rotary selector for moving coil pickups, while dedicated selectors accommodate moving magnet cartridges. Custom step-up transformers with super permalloy cores preserve low-level harmonic details across independent channels, and balanced XLR connections maintain signal integrity across high-end phono preamplifiers.Isolated Power and Resonance Control:Clean power delivery ensures quiet backgrounds during quiet acoustic passages. Three independent power transformers isolate the left audio channel, right audio channel, and internal control circuits to prevent electrical crosstalk. A dual-layer copper base plate and rigid aluminum chassis lower the centre of gravity and dampen mechanical vibrations before they reach sensitive audio pathways.Practical Playback Adjustments:Front-panel controls offer immediate access to playback corrections without reducing signal purity. An integrated articulator function demagnetises cartridge coils during normal record play, while a switchable low-cut filter prevents woofer flutter caused by warped pressings. Dedicated mono and phase-inversion settings ensure accurate reproduction for classic records, bringing versatile flexibility to modern phono preamps.Authorized Dealer:We are an authorized dealer for Luxman, providing you with direct access to specialist support and the full manufacturer warranty.
