About the PE505
The TEAC PE-505 is a fully-balanced phono equalizing amplifier built with dual monaural circuitry and support for balanced MC input. It offers selectable MM load capacitance, selectable MC load resistance, multiple EQ curves including RIAA, DECCA, and COLUMBIA, a mono function, subsonic detection/filtering, and a cartridge demagnetizing mode. The unit is designed to preserve low-level cartridge signals through differential processing from input to output and includes both RCA and XLR connectivity.
