"After years of extensive in-house development and close collaboration with recording engineers and archivists from the BBC; the British Library Sound Archive; The Institut fürRundfunktechnik GmbH1 and Sveriges Radio AB2, AMR is pleased to announce it has commenced shipping of the PH-77 Reference Class Phono Equaliser.
"The PH-77 is the only phonograph source able to lay claim to exclusively feature a comprehensive catalogue of 22 equalisation (EQ) curves. Every LP record ever made may now be replayed using the one and only correct equalisation curve.
"Together with 8 levels of gain; 64 steps of load; 3 inputs for unprecedented flexibility in cartridge choice/matching and an onboard 24bit/96kHz DAC, the PH-77 also is a pure single-ended, Class A, zero negative feedback design. All low-level signal connections including the cartridge are coupled directly. Overall, only two coupling capacitors are employed: one is a custom-made silver foil capacitor that follows the equalisation block; and the output capacitor is the same German-made film and foil capacitor used in the CD-77 CD-Processor.
"The PH-77 uses sonically superior valve-based rectification with 2 x NOS EZ80 and double C-Core 20H choke filtering implemented fully dual mono. Instead of traditional regulators, the PH-77 employs a far more elaborate set of 4 virtual battery supplies, characterised by zero negative feedback and lowest possible noise. These are followed by a further 28 stages of passive power supply filtering, 8 of them utilising costly large value film capacitors.
"All of the following functions are completely adjustable in real-time either on the front panel or from the included aluminium remote control."The worldwide recommended retail price of the PH-77 is EUR7,800 (excluding VAT)."
- 8 levels of gain 72, 66, 60, 54, 48, 42, 36, 30dB for complete cartridge compatibility.
- 64 steps of load for pinpoint resistive and capacitive loading.
- 3 switchable inputs to select the desired cartridges and tonearm combination: be it elliptical or spherical stylus cartridges; stereo or mono cartridges; fixed or flexible (linear tracking or pivoted) tonearms; with Moving Magnet or Moving Coil cartridges.
- 32 steps for Moving Coil, 32 steps for Moving Magnet.
