Dynavox TC-5B Phono Preamplifier
Currently out of stock
Product details
The TC-5B is the brand new phono preamplifier for MM systems from Dynavox. It is used when a turntable is to be operated with an amplifier without a phono input or when an internal phono connection does
not meet the sound requirements. In phono preamplifiers, the extremely small signal from the turntable is amplified and equalized and thus prepared for connection to an amplifier. These signals are very sensitive to interference of all kinds, which can manifest itself as disturbing noise or hum. With the TC-5B, therefore, in addition to the sonic properties very great emphasis was placed on minimizing this interference. In addition to the well-shielded and high-quality metal housing with a solid 4 mm aluminum front and rear panel, the TC-5B has an external power supply for minimizing interference. In addition, however, the TC-5B comes up with a top feature unusual in its price range, as it was also given the option of switching from power supply by AC adapter to power supply by battery operation (9V block). Depending on the turntable or setup of the system, this can make a very big difference in sound. A standard alkaline 9V block (not included) is sufficient for about 40 hours of music enjoyment.

Very good81/100
- High-quality housing with aluminium front
- Dynamic sound, low noise
- Runs optionally with plug-in power supply unit or 9V battery
- No capacity selection
Initially, the optional battery operation had made us curious - but this feature is not really useful. The real surprise about the TC-5B is its large-format, energetic sound: for the price of two LPs, this is a really great, lasting value. So if you only have a simple phono preamp built into your amp, you should seriously consider the TC-5B.
