Many of today's stereo and AV amplifiers and receivers have either eliminated
the phonograph input altogether, or included a low cost - and low
performance - circuit for attaching your turntable. The PP 2 offers superb
performance in a neat and simple package for a very reasonable cost. The
NAD PP 2 is a vastly improved successor to the very popular PP 1, arguably the
most successful device of its kind. The most obvious visible difference is the
inclusion of a high gain Moving Coil Cartridge input allowing proper matching
to virtually any high quality turntable/cartridge combination. Other refine-
ments include a grounding terminal post, and gold plated input and output
sockets.
The performance of the PP 1 was already to a very high standard in the areas
of noise, distortion, and RIAA equalization accuracy, but we have managed to
improve these specifications still further by careful circuit layout and improved
close tolerance parts. Costly metal film resistors and film type capacitors are
used exclusively in the signal path to give both measured improvement and a
more refined and engaging listening experience. By increasing the power sup-
ply voltage from 15 volts to 24 volts, we have improved overload margins and
enhanced musical dynamics.
By staying with the original PP 1 concept, and improving functionality and per-
formance even further, NAD's engineering team has once again managed to
give music lovers an even better product at a truly amazing price.
