About the LCR Gold
The Lounge Audio LCR Gold is a solid-state moving-magnet phono preamplifier using a passive LCR (inductor-capacitor-resistor) RIAA equalization network. It is based on the company's LCR MkIII circuit architecture but adds an integral volume control and 1/4-inch headphone output. The Gold version uses point-to-point silver bus wiring at the regulator/op-amp interface, upgraded power-supply components, and selected bulk-foil resistors in the audio circuit. It is a Class A-biased op-amp design with RCA input and output connections.
