ART DJPRE II Phono/Line Pre-Amplifier

Product Information

This is my first proper turntable setup, and was wondering if anyone has any comparison thoughts between the ART DJ and the Mani… would it be a noticeable upgrade for me, and if so, what differences would I notice? That's why if headroom is even given as a specification point, it's normally quoted at 1kHz, as at other frequencies, the reduced headroom one side of 1kHz on reproduction should be compensated for an increased headroom on the cutting side and similarly for increasing headroom. Andertons Music Company is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority, firm registration number 716155. However it was still useful considering I had no knob (or at least «easy to reach» knob) to control loudness in my first setup, where I had the turntable conected to this and then directly to active speakers.

The RIAA curve is also applied on the cutting side, so overall cutting/replay headroom should be independent of frequency. And afterwards, you would have to remember to turn it back down - otherwise the AppleTV would be ear-shatteringly loud!A 600R source is OK for the DC part, but there's that 1H or so inductance which pretty much dominates at mid to treble for noise measurements. Housed in an all aluminium black anodized case, the DJ PRE II can be powered by a wide variety of external supplies. e. over 20dB, ideally over 25dB there is unlikely to be anything off the record that has a higher cutting velocity and therefore cause a playback issue.

The front gain trim control and signal / clip LED allow you to optimize the preamp's gain for a wide range of input sources. I, like the OP, found that finding that position to just before the light flickers red, sounded the best.But I found the more practical solution is to set it up with one of those multi voltage, multi pin universal AC power supply/battery eliminator adapters that was big in the late 80's/early 90's, and set it up for 12 volts. For this purpose, the phono preamp picks up the unamplified signal of the turntable via RCA sockets, raises the signal level via the adjustable gain, and passes the amplified signal on to the connected device via RCA sockets. Their product range includes digital interfaces and mixers, rack mixers, amplifiers, and monitor speakers, as well as headphone amplifiers, power conditioners, patch bays, and also “intelligent” graphic equalisers, tube preamps, compressors, and of course microphones.

If you are in a situation with numerous powered devices and want to avoid humming, there is also a ground terminal on the back of the preamp. I bought the ART DJ Pre II for a relatively specific reason - both my record player and my AppleTV (via a bluetooth receiver) were outputting directly to my living room speakers, and the record player signal was MUCH quieter than the AppleTV, even with the AppleTV turned all the way down.
