Phono Preamp for MM Cartridges

The Fluance PA10 is a dedicated phono preamplifier designed for turntables equipped with Moving Magnet cartridges. It converts the low-level phono signal to line level so the turntable can connect directly to an amplifier or powered speakers without a built-in phono stage.

Upgrade From Built-In Stages

This unit replaces the basic phono stage found inside many entry-level turntables or budget receivers. The jump is worthwhile when the integrated preamp adds audible noise, lacks a subsonic filter, or cannot deliver the RIAA accuracy needed for cleaner vinyl playback.

Signal Handling and Headroom

A low-noise 24 V power supply and individual left and right channel op-amps keep crosstalk virtually absent while maintaining a RIAA deviation of .5 dB. The selectable high-pass filter rolls off frequencies below 20 Hz to suppress rumble at loud volumes, though the preamp provides no gain adjustment for low-output cartridges.

Questions about this item

What cables and connectors does the PA10 need to hook up to my turntable and amplifier?

Connect the turntable's RCA output to the PA10's MM phono inputs, then run RCA cables from the PA10's line-level outputs to any line-level input on your amplifier or receiver.

Which step do people miss when installing the PA10 with a turntable that already has a built-in preamp?

You must bypass or disable the turntable's internal phono stage so only the PA10 processes the signal; otherwise you apply RIAA equalization twice and get distorted sound.

When will the 24 V power supply or the OP amps inside the PA10 need replacement?

The external 24 V supply is the only wear item; if it fails or drifts, replace it with an equivalent 24 V unit — the internal OP amps and RIAA network are solid-state and require no scheduled service.
