{"product_id":"nadpp2e","title":"NAD PP 2e Phono Preamp (MM\/MC)","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe NAD PP 2e is a phono preamp that connects a turntable with an MM or MC cartridge to any amplifier without a phono input.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMany modern amplifiers and AV receivers have dropped the phono input - or tacked on a half-hearted budget circuit instead. The PP 2e brings back a clean phono stage, affordably and without fuss.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy the PP 2e?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause in a small housing it does exactly the right thing: low-noise, wide-bandwidth amplification for MM and MC cartridges with precise RIAA equalization (±0.3 dB). An external 24-volt power supply keeps things quiet, gold-plated jacks ensure secure contact, and Auto Power Down switches it off when you're done.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat you hear \/ get\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn open, clean sound that does your record justice. Operation: plug it in, choose MM or MC with the switch, done. No setup marathon.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is the PP 2e suited for?

A switch lets you choose between Moving Magnet (MM) and Moving Coil (MC) - the PP 2e adjusts the gain accordingly. That means it works with virtually any common turntable and cartridge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDo I need the PP 2e if my amplifier already has a phono input?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOnly if its phono stage is weak, or if you want to run MC and the amplifier only supports MM. If your amplifier already has a good, suitable phono stage, you don't need it. If in doubt, we're happy to sort that out with you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy buy the NAD PP 2e at HD Zürisee?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBecause we match turntables, cartridges and phono stages to each other, rather than just selling you a box.
