EA-1500

PHASEMATION EA-1500 is a high-end vacuum tube phono amplifier from Japan, inheriting advanced technologies from the flagship EA-2000. Its two-chassis design separates the amplifier and power supply, while its LCR equalizer circuit and non-negative-feedback design aim to deliver a wide dynamic range, precise detail, and natural analogue sound reproduction.

Key Features

• LCR-Type Equalizer Circuit: Inherits circuit technology from the flagship EA-2000 for accurate equalization and detailed sound reproduction.
• Vacuum Tube Design: Non-negative-feedback (non-NFB) circuitry designed for fast response and a wide dynamic range.
• MC Step-Up Transformer: Features a redesigned transformer with PC-Triple C winding wire to support high-quality MC cartridge signal reproduction.
• Optical Cartridge Compatibility: Supports MM, MC, and compatible optical cartridges, including dedicated power provision for optical cartridges.
• Separate Power Supply: Two-chassis construction isolates the power supply from the amplifier; independent transformers supply the left and right channels.
• Balanced and Unbalanced Connections: Provides XLR and RCA inputs and outputs, with both output types usable simultaneously.
• Multiple Equalization Curves: Supports RIAA playback and two mono equalization modes for Decca and Columbia records, plus a cartridge demagnetization function.
• Premium Construction: Features carefully selected vibration-isolating feet, gold-plated connectors and relay contacts, and a low-dielectric-coated top cover.
