Brinkmann Audio Fein Phono Amplifier for MM or MC cartridges. Reduced.

Here is a used Brinkmann Fein phono stage in very good condition. This is a superb sounding phono stage. The Fein features a single input, a volume control, and low output impedance; you can drive an amplifier directly with the Fein should you choose to do so. The Fein (pronounced Fine) runs in pure Class-A with all operating points referenced to a single and temperature-compensated voltage source; the power transformer will never run into magnetic saturation thanks to ultra-fast diodes and noninductive resistors; and last, but certainly not least, because the power consumption is so low that Brinkmann decided to omit a power switch, to leave the Fein powered up continuously because it sounds even better that way. Specifications THD/IM distortion 0,01%/0,05% S/N ratio MM/MC 80/78 dBA Frequency response 20 Hz-50 kHz Gain Adjustable, max. 55 dB Output voltage maximum 4 V Output impedance 200 Ohm Input impedance MC 600 Ohm Input capacitance MM 50 pF Input sensitivity switchable 1 mV/47 kOhm (MM), 0.5 mV/600 Ohm and 0.2 mV/600 Ohm (MC) This Fein is in very good condition. There are no scratches on the front panel, but there are some light marking on the top of the unit and a small ding on the upper left-hand side of the unit. The phono stage will come with a brand new outboard power supply unit that we have ordered from Brinkmann. It also comes with the granite base for extra isolation from the surrounding environment. We do not have the original packaging but it will be very well packed for safe shipping. Current new price for the Fein is $3,100 USD. Now only $1800 USD plus shipping. Shipping will be a flat rate of $35 within USA or Canada. Paypal payment only, please. No extra charge.
