Product Description
The Artemis Labs PL-1 Phono Pre-amplifier is designed for low-output moving-coil phono cartridges, with a 65db lower gain version suitable for 0.2mv to 0.5mv cartridges. It features a tube-driven design using a combination of Russian 6N1P, 12AX7, and 5687 tubes, providing a clean, accurate sound with low noise and a wide range of tone colors. The passive RIAA equalization circuit ensures smooth, full-bodied sound with tonal definition.The PL-1 utilizes five tubes in total, with the 6N1P for the initial gain stage, followed by 12AX7 and 5687 tubes for further amplification.
The unique design allows for independent use of each triode within the dual-triode tubes, enhancing operational efficiency and enabling easy tube replacement for optimal performance. The pre-amplifier's thoughtful construction by John Atwood of One Electronâ„¢ ensures a balanced, dynamic, and transparent audio experience, earning accolades such as the Absolute Sound Golden Ear Award and Editor's Choice Award.
