The signals generated by the pickup cartridges are however very small and therefore must be amplified to a much higher level. Regrettably, most of today’s amplifiers are no longer equipped with a dedicated phono stage. This unfortunate situation was a good reason for Thorens to develop the TEP 302, a complete phono preamplifier including RIAA equalization, which was to complement the outstanding playback performance of our turntables.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe TEP 302 is a pure-bred Class-A amplifier which employs selected, very special low-noise operational amplifiers throughout. The circuitry has been optimized “by ear” after several extended listening sessions. Of course, the TEP 302 also features a 15-Hz subsonic filter in order to protect the woofers from dangerous excursions when a warped record is played. More details, more dynamics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBridge the Gap Between Classic Analog and High-Res Digital.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAvailable at \u003cstrong\u003eVinyl Sound Buffalo, NY USA\u003c\/strong\u003e, the \u003cstrong\u003eThorens MM-008 ADC\u003c\/strong\u003e is the ultimate solution for audiophiles who want to enjoy the minute details of their precious vinyl records and permanently archive them in lossless digital formats.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIntegrated Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC)\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith an integrated, high-performance Analog-to-Digital Converter, the MM-008 ADC allows you to digitize your vinyl collection directly to your computer.
