Description
Making More of Your Vinyl
The Audiolab PPA7 is a compact, high-performance phono preamplifier designed to bring greater clarity, control and versatility to vinyl playback. It supports both Moving Magnet and Moving Coil cartridges, combining precise cartridge matching and purpose-designed analogue circuitry with a dedicated current-feedback headphone amplifier, Bluetooth transmission with aptX HD, and high-resolution USB recording. Whether you are upgrading from the phono input built into your amplifier or building a dedicated vinyl system, the PPA7 is a compelling step up.
