今日も Elusive Disc Music からの DM ネタで SUTHERLAND の 20/20 Phono Preamp です。
ダブルクリックで拡大写真が見れますが、内部構造を見ると大半が電解コンデンサーのような・・・ (^^ゞ
モノラルアンプを 2個組み合わせてステレオ化しています。価格は 2200ドルですから SUTHERLAND 製品としては安価な感じがします。
The 20/20 Phono Stage from Sutherland Engineering is the ultimate in channel separation! Derived from the best elements of the PH3D and the Hubble, the 20/20's signal path is almost the same as the Hubble; the construction is as simple as the PH3D. The 20/20 has an elegant esthetic of performance, value, craftsmanship and minimalism.
That heritage, however, does not keep the 20/20 design from taking on its own unique character:
First. Everyone wants the advantages of AC power line isolation offered by battery operation. The 20/20 is for the person who wants those advantages, but does not want to mess with batteries. The 20/20 comes as close as possible to offering an equivalence of battery isolation from AC line power.
Second. Two-Mono (definition: bumping it up from dual-mono) construction. The 20/20 is literally two identical mono phono stages. Each channel is on its own circuit board, has its own shielded compartment, power indicator, its own AC power supply and its own power cord. It is the ultimate in channel separation.
