The Hegel V10 is a new version of an old technology. With 30 years of experience designing cutting-edge discrete transistor circuits, we've built a phono preamplifier like no other. It is neutral, dynamic and exceptionally revealing. We have used all our knowledge in amplification and applied it to one goal: to reach the record and reveal every bit of information. The V10 is designed to capture sound. To get closer to the music. To get into the rhythm. The chassis is divided into two compartments, physically separating the power supplies from the sensitive amplification circuitry. There is simply no detectable interference between the two parties. For the best possible connection, we've equipped the V10 with gold-plated terminals, balanced XLR outputs, and a solid custom ground screw. In the most important input stage, we have used ultra-low noise discrete JFET transistors for Moving Magnet (MM) and Moving Coil (MC) input. Eliminating external noise is especially important when using sensitive, low-output MC cartridges. That is why we have equipped the MC input with four of these transistors connected in parallel. Make the input completely silent and stop any bias current feedback to the capsule coil. When using an MM capsule, you can freely increase the capacitance between 100 and 467 pF and when using an MC type, the impedance can be freely set between 33 and 550 ohms or fixed at 47 kohm. On both MM and MC the gain can be increased by 5, 10 or 12 dB, matching the output of your other sources, the V10 even has a subsonic filter to eliminate unwanted low frequency noise.
