About the NAD PP 2e
Breathe new life into your vinyl collection
Breathe new life into your vinyl collection
A lot of receivers and amplifiers these days lack the phonograph input you need to hook up your turntable. And when manufacturers do include one, they sometimes use low-cost, low-performance circuitry that yields thin, lifeless results. NAD's PP 2e phono preamp takes advantage of high-quality, close-tolerance parts and a clean, simple design to give you the warm, richly detailed sound that vinyl is famous for.
It includes an external power supply that helps keep noise and interference away from sensitive electronics. And NAD gave the PP 2e an automatic standby function, which allows it to turn off when no signal is received, to help reduce energy consumption.
This preamp offers inputs for both moving magnet and moving coil cartridges, to ensure proper matching with virtually any turntable and cartridge combination.

Was using an A/V receiver with turntable input,but just didn't sound right. Not that it was bad, just not right. Order this little box,added to my system on regular audio input. Great improvement to the sound quality,it works. There may be better,but at this price it's going to be hard to beat.
