The Phono Blocks are at the pinnacle of phono preamp performance. It just doesn’t get any better. The 20\/20 was designed to get the most performance possible at its predetermined price point. To get there, extra was spent to get premium parts and circuitry into the signal path. Consequently, some expenses were squeezed out of less critical areas.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThose trade-offs have worked very well. The 20\/20 has delivered an extremely high level of performance at a reasonable price. It is an incredible performance value. What if all the price constraints in the 20\/20 were lifted? The price goes up; the performance goes up. It starts looking a lot like the PhonoBlock. The actual signal path of the 20\/20 is quite good. It uses a circuit very similar to the PhonoBlock. In critical positions, it also uses the same premium quality (and high-cost) components. Very little was held back in that area.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe opportunity for upgrade is focused on a more refined power supply, improved circuit board properties, and dual chassis construction. Enter the DUO...\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eEach DUO has a built-in AC power supply. There is an IEC power inlet on each chassis to accommodate the user's personal power cord choice. The shielded power supply module has one output. That output is split into two branches. One for each of the two gain stages. Each branch is independently filtered and regulated to provide a substantial foundation for the gain stages.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eFR-4 fiberglass circuit boards\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eDouble-sided with plated thru holes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e1\/8” thick for extra rigidity and minimal dielectric influence\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eDale\/Vishay 1 % metal film resistors\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWima Polypropylene capacitors for power supply bypassing and DC servo\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eCustom wound, 1 % polystyrene film capacitors for equalization\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e14 gauge cold rolled steel base baked epoxy powder coat finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e1\/2 “ thick anodized aluminum panel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAnodized in front panel artwork\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eGold-plated, Teflon-insulated RCA connectors\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eGold-plated configuration headers and shunts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eCartridge loading (ohm):\u003c\/strong\u003e 100, 200, 475, 1k, 47k\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eGain settings (dB):\u003c\/strong\u003e 40, 46, 52, 58, 64\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSize (WDH):\u003c\/strong\u003e 17” x 12” x 2.5” \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eShipping box (WDH):\u003c\/strong\u003e 23\" x 18\" x 9\"\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 11 lb each\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eShipping weight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 19 lb each\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAll products on Hi-Fi Disposals are sold with a 12-month warranty covering parts and labor.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Hi-Fi Disposals","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40924631498796,"sku":"","price":6000.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0374\/4792\/5804\/products\/DuoStacked3_4Closer.jpg?v=1674533874","url":"https:\/\/hifidisposals.com.au\/products\/sutherland-duo-phono-preamplifier","provider":"Hi-Fi Disposals","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
