  • Converts phono signal to line level with flat RIAA equalisation
  • Premium components and 24V power supply achieve .5 dB RIAA deviation
  • Individual left and right channel OP amps deliver wide stereo separation
  • Selectable high-pass filter removes subsonic rumble below 20 Hz
  • Metal shielding enclosure blocks electromagnetic interference for clean signal

Purpose and Compatibility

The Fluance PA10CAGW is a dedicated phono preamplifier built for turntables fitted with Moving Magnet cartridges that lack their own preamp stage. It converts the low-level phono signal to line level so the turntable can connect directly to any amplifier or powered speakers. Buyers who need a preamp for Moving Coil cartridges or who already have a satisfactory built-in stage will not benefit from this unit.

Noise, Filtering and Power

A 24 V low-noise power supply and internal metal shielding keep the noise floor down, while a selectable high-pass filter gently rolls off frequencies below 20 Hz to suppress subsonic rumble at higher volumes. The circuit achieves a RIAA equalization deviation of .5 dB and ultra-low harmonic distortion. No figures for power consumption or thermal output are provided.

Included Cables and Signal Path

A 3 ft RCA interconnect and a 3 ft ground wire are supplied in the box, letting you complete the connection to an amplifier without extra purchases. The ground wire eliminates hum caused by missing chassis grounding, and the shielded RCA cable preserves the low-crosstalk stereo separation delivered by the independent left and right channel op-amps.

Questions about this item

How do I connect the included 3 ft RCA cable and ground wire to my turntable and amplifier?

Plug the RCA connectors into the turntable outputs and amplifier inputs, then attach the ground wire to the turntable's ground terminal and the PA10's grounding post to eliminate hum.

Will the 24 V power supply or internal OP amps require periodic replacement?

The low-noise 24 V supply and discrete left/right OP amps are solid-state with no user-serviceable parts; no scheduled maintenance is needed.

At what frequency does the selectable rumble filter begin to roll off low-end content?

The high-pass filter starts a gentle roll-off below 20 Hz to suppress subsonic feedback during loud playback.
