About the 120 Phono
This phono preamp is notable for its solid-state amplification stage, a departure from Zanden's typical all-tube designs. It includes four Jensen step-up transformers for passive gain, supporting both low and high impedance cartridges. The Model 120 offers five equalization curves: RIAA, Teldec, EMI, Columbia, and Decca, which is uncommon in its price range. It supports single-ended (RCA) and balanced (XLR) inputs, providing flexibility in system integration. The unit is compact and aesthetically pleasing, with a separate power supply to minimize noise.
