Great hybrid preamp with tremendous phono section.  Original owner.  Rated 8/10 for age only. 



Frequency
response




High Level Section: ±.5dB, 5 Hz to
50 kHz, - 3dB points below 1 Hz and above 200kHz.








Phono: ±.3dB of RIAA, 30Hz to
40kHz.






Distortion
(THD)




Less than 0.1% at 2V RMS output.
(Typically less than 0.005% in midband)

(SP-9: < .01% @ 2V RMS output 10Hz to 30kHz )






Noise
& hum




High Level: (1) 70 µV RMS maximum
residual unweighted wideband noise at main output with gain control minimum
(98 dB below 5V RMS output). (2) More than 100dB below 1 V RMS input (less
than 7µV equivalent input noise)

(SP-9: Phono IHF weighted 72 dB below 1 mV input)






 




Phono: 0.12 µV equivalent input
noise; IHF weighted, shorted input (78dB below 1 mV input).






Gain




Phono input to tape output: 46dB








Phono input to main output: 67dB
(SP-9: Phono 66dB (RIAA ±.25 dB)
