P 30 Phono Preamplifier

The AVM P30 MM/MC phono preamplifier takes its marching orders from the need to pay attention to the closest details – such as the microscopic signals that must be carefully processed in the analog chain. Graced with remarkable transparency, the German-made P30 mines what's embedded in your records' grooves and does so with non-fatiguing naturalism. You'll experience the warmth, dynamics, nuances, and liveliness for which LPs are increasingly revered. And like all AVM products, P30 claims stellar fit and finish on the outside and inside. In the case of P30, what you see is what you get – and it's hard to argue with the results.

Featuring a rear-panel power switch and individual inputs for both MM and MC, as well as audiophile-quality phono load adaptors (100/200/1,000 ohms) that can be plugged in parallel, P30 concentrates on minimized signal paths to preserve the integrity of the musical information. Its design inherently guards against electromagnetic interference while the massive, one-piece extrusion aluminum housing protects the circuit board from microphonic effects and degrading vibrations. A super-quiet external power supply, hand-selected film capacitors and metal-layered resistors round out a component whose clean looks mirror its sonic clarity.
