この価格帯で性能は十分なものです。ずっしりと重い金属製の筐体は安心感があります。ＫＴ－８８真空管アンプに接続して使用しましたがノイズを含め音質は十分に合格レベルです。音質も特徴的ではないが、オーディオテクニカらしく標準的で聴きやすい音作りです。中国製ですが、近年の中国の技術進歩は飛躍的に向上し加工精度も良く納得できる作りです。オーディオに関して言えば日本はもはやこの手の製品は開発製造不可能な状態で日本でできないものを中国で生産できることは、素晴らしいことです。強いて言えば時代の流れとはいえ、電源がアダプター式で若干チープでリード線も短め、大きさからコンセント口二つ分を占有してしまうのは、もったいない限りです。

プリアンプのフォノイコライザーがダメになったので、レビューで評価の高いこちらを購入しました。カートリッジは、デノンのDL-103Rです。プリアンプの時となんら遜色のない音を奏でています。まあ耳がダメ耳ですが。プリアンプは、C-2Xです。まあ耳の良い人なら違いがわかると思いますが実際は、C-2Xより劣るでしょう。でも値段を考えるとコストパフォーマンスは、素晴らしいと思いました。

小型で外観質感の高い製品です。MMとMCを切り替えて使えます。自分は殆どＭＣのみで使用しています。正確な音質評価はお伝え出来ませんが、今まで使用していた高額なフォノイコライザーアンプに劣る印象はありません。近頃ストックしていたLPを聴き直してますが、アナログレコードの良質な音に感激しています。

I bought this because I'm pretty much using A-T cartridges exclusively now, both moving magnet and moving coil. Unit is optimized for both, and sounds great. Well made and attractive, too.

I've been looking for a preamp for a while and thought I would give this a try. I believe in break in time so I've only listened to 2 records so far. But the deal breaker for me is the low 35db gain setting. I'm having to crank the volume of my modest 55 watts per channel receiver way to high, near to 90% max to get decent volume. That being said I don't listen at ear damaging levels. Most likely it will be going back.

前面で、ＭＭとＭＣの切り替え可能な機械を、探しておりました。プリメインアンプは、背面にしかなく、非常に不便でした。音の方も満足しております。

The Audio Technica PEQ30 is an outstanding phono preamp. I run two turntables in my medium dollar system one with a MM cartridge and one higher end Luxman table with MC cartridge and have up to this point used the phono stage built into my dedicated preamp, and went through the plug and unplug process when changing turntables to listen too.. So as I have been exploring and hearing phono preamps in the under $500 price range to be able to have a dedicate line level output to supply my preamp, I came unexpectedly on the AEQ30 of the 5 others I had reviewed. The only model that is even close to this AT unit is the Music Fidelity V90, which is a superb phono preamp but for me and my system the PEQ30 provided a more spacious sound stage and just a touch more definition. Keep in mind that in the $200- 400 price range most all of the phono preamps sound really good but it is the subtilties that will set one unit apart from another. They all re-equalize the RIAA curve very well, but is is in the detail, spaciousness, stage positioning, and warmth or edge that really sets them apart. I used this on my MM Turn table which has an AT VM95SH cartridge and it simply exploded with sound improvements. With much greater definition and detail and an overall richness in the entire band width from bass to treble. The treble and mids were warm and full without the sharp brittle sound as was from my dedicated preamp. Totally improved the sound and listening experience.. But the even better part was when I ran my Luxman Turn Table with an AT OC9 Moving Coil through it, moving coil cartridges are known for their airiness and extremely high level of detail, but with this phono preamp that improved two fold over my primary preamp, and the richness / fullness across then entire bandwidth was much better, a total delight to listen too. I have come to the belief that running a secondary phono preamp is, in many cases, a significant improvement over built in phono stages in amps or receivers and as it clearly showed in my $850 dedicated preamp.I have enjoyed this AT PEQ30 so much that I bought a second one to have dedicated to my Luxman turntable. Note, there are very few reviews out there on the device, I was able to tap into some of my resources in Japan and the EU to help me evaluate this device but don't let that steer you away for this excellent phono preamp and not matter what level of system you are able to enjoy you will find that the PEQ30 will most definitely enhance and improve your vinyl listening experience. I highly recommend this phono preamp.
