Brand: Mod squad
The Mod Squad Phono Drive is an electronic circuit designed to boost the weak output signal of a turntable's phono cartridge to a level that can be effectively processed by an audio amplifier or preamp. The circuit uses a JFET (junction field-effect transistor) input stage to provide high input impedance and low noise, followed by a variable gain amplifier to adjust the output level. The circuit also features input and output coupling capacitors to remove any unwanted low-frequency noise or hum. The Mod Squad Phono Drive is a popular choice among audiophiles and vinyl enthusiasts for its high-fidelity sound reproduction and flexibility in setting the ideal gain level for different phono cartridges.
