Overview
The 40 PPA is Cyrus's best phono preamplifier yet. Like the rest of the 40 series it has a redesigned circuit and audio path, with sensitive signal paths shielded from interference.
You can connect up to four turntables, arms or cartridges and switch between them. Every input takes moving magnet or moving coil cartridges, and on moving coil inputs the gain, load and capacitance can be set independently. Stereo output level meters with peak hold help you set the right MC gain.
It has a high-capacity, low-noise DC power supply built in and is compatible with the optional Cyrus 40 PSU. The supplied remote also operates other Cyrus 40 series products.
