Accuphase C-47 Phono Stage

The Accuphase C-47 phono stage is the first of this series which realises a fully balanced configuration from input to output. The resulting product not only is highly impervious to external noise, it also features a dedicated head amplifier optimized for the characteristics of MC and MM phono cartridges, and a high-accuracy equalizer amplifier, thereby ensuring precise equalization with a minimum of noise. A set of newly added dedicated balanced MC phono inputs enables balanced connection to the analogue record player. By bringing out the full performance potential of each phono cartridge, the Accuphase C-47 delivers a rich and deeply satisfying musical experience.
