Ortofon MCA-76 Moving Coil Amplifier

Description: Ortofon MCA-76 Moving-Coil Amplifier, 100-120V. Original Owner! Made in Denmark. Condition: 9/10 I purchased this amplifier in the late 1970s, along with an Ortofon MC20 cartridge. It was my daily driver until the early 80's, and was used sporadically until the early 90's when my music collection became predominantly digital. This device has been used only by me, and only saw connection to two or three turntables during its use. It's been bubble wrapped and sealed in an airtight bag since I last used it the early 90's. I've listed it at a price that I believe is fair. Some of the MCA-76 units listed appear to be much more used and the asking prices seem a bit out there. This is likely the finest MCA-76 you will find. Vendor DescriptionThe Ortofon MCA-76 is specially designed for use together with cartridges of the moving coil type.The amplifier circuit is designed to have an absolute minimum of noise output, just 5dB above the theoretical noise limit.The distortion figures are down to a minimum.A built in subsonic filter attenuates sound below 13Hz as these signals below the audible range can lead to speaker damage.A switchable filter is employed in order to change the frequency response to two-channel or four-channel CD-4 mode.A switch makes it possible to by-pass the MCA-76 amplifier section when using moving magnet cartridges.SpecificationsFrequency response: 20Hz to 50kHzVoltage gain: 34dBInput impedance: 75ohmsOutput impedance: < 140ohmsMaximum input: 6mV RMSHarmonic distortion: 0.04% (2nd harmonic)Hum level: 120dB below max outputSignal to noise ratio: >69dBSub sonic filter: -20dBCD-4 filter: -20dBPower requirements: 90-132 or 180-264V ACWeight: 1.1kgDimensions: 40 x 60 x 224mm
