Phasemation EA-220 Phono EQ Amplifier

Phasemation EA-220 Phono Amplifier MM/MC non-feedback phonostage with dual-mono layout and all-discrete circuitry The EA-220 is a non-feedback, all-discrete phonostage with an 8 mm thick aluminum front panel and 1.2 mm thick steel chassis with copper plating. With added isolation from heavy feet, the refined circuit preserves the natural dynamics and nuance of vinyl playback by avoiding the time-delay artifacts of feedback-based designs. A dual-mono circuit layout ensures symmetry between left and right channels, while carefully selected capacitors, resistors, and low-noise diodes optimize sound quality. The R-core transformer and vibration-isolating metal feet contribute to stable, quiet operation. Its copper-plated steel chassis with thick aluminum front panel provides rigidity and reduces magnetic distortion. Winner of multiple awards in 2023 and 2024, the EA-220 continues Phasemation’s pursuit of faithful analog reproduction with superior circuit design, premium parts, and elegant construction. Features The RIAA elements, which have a high impact on the sound quality, use 1% grade metal film resistors with a generous rated capacitance and high-quality film capacitors. ELNA SILMIC II audio-grade electrolytic capacitors used in signal paths The power supply uses fast recovery diodes with high sound quality and low noise   Low-noise Zener diodes are used which structures an extremely low noise power circuit to the Lch and Rch individually The power transformer uses a transformer of low leakage flux using an R-core Specifications Inputs: MM stereo RCA , MC stereo RCA Input Sensitivity (MM/MC): 2.5 mV, 0.12 mV Input Impedance (MM/MC): 47 kΩ, 470 Ω Gain (MM/MC): 38 dB, 63 dB Input Conversion S/N Ratio (MM/MC): -120 dBV, -140 dBV Rated Output Voltage (1 kHz): 200 mV RIAA Curve Tolerance (20 Hz–20 kHz): ±0.5 dB Power Consumption: 2 W Dimensions (WHD): 8.66" x 2.24" x 8.98" (220 x 57 x 228 mm) Weight: 5.73 lb.
