About the H1202
The H-1202 is a vacuum-tube MM/MC phono preamplifier and successor to the H-1201. It uses a pure Class A, no-negative-feedback circuit, Permalloy-core moving-coil step-up transformers, and an automatic all-tube voltage-regulation circuit. It has separate RCA inputs for MC and MM cartridges, with selectable MC transformer gain and fixed MM loading.
