The Synfonia PPA is a Phono Pre Amplifier solution built for integrating your favourite turntable to your high-end audio system. The chassis has been carved from a cast aluminium block not only for design purposes but also to achieve a compact package structure. The interior RIAA filter has been developed with low tolerance components to achieve outstanding audio reproduction.

In order to be compatible with a large spectrum of high-end devices, several controls allow user selection of various settings such as input impedance, the output connector type and the Phono Preamplifier gain. These setting are particularly useful with regard to the integration of moving magnet (MM) and moving coil (MC) turntables.

PPA MK2

The PPA MK2 is the second generation model of the Orpheus Phono Preamplifier (PPA). The PPA MK2 still allows you to connect MM (Moving Magnet) and MC cell (Moving Coil) phono cartridges. In addition, this model has been improved to allow the selection of the output sensitivity of the phono cartridge with a five position switch and therefore provides a constant gain for all cell values (0.1mV to 10mV).

The gain has also been increased with a two position switch at 50 dB or 70dB. For a better adaptation of the phono cartridge, with the PPA MK2 you can select the correct impedance (100R, 1K and 47K) and the correct capacity (47pF, 220pF and 470uF) according to the specifications of the phono cartridge. A system has been developed to manage the activation of the analog inputs in order to avoid unwanted sounds created by the power ON/OFF of the PPA. The electronics inside have been developed to remove potential problems associated with offset voltages. Tolerances for components of the RIAA filter have been scaled down to increase audio performance. The PPA MK2 was developed to answer to outstanding product standards.
