The ZYX CPP-1 is an active MC gain stage that employs battery power to isolate the phono signal and sets input impedance (at 100ohm) with a proprietary coiled wire resistor.This Pre-Preamp is dedicated to ZYX cartridges, but it works perfectly with all MC cartridges providing a load of about 100 Ohms. Handmade in Japan by constructor/designer of ZYX Mr. Nakatsuka.
All components made by hand. The labor quality of all components is immaculate.
The highest quality cryogenic purified monocrystal copper - exactly the same used by ZYX in its 1000 series cartridges and coils. Completely neutral acoustically and electrically - casing made of wood. This is a battery-operated device with the option of powering by a dedicated transformer. After full charging (12 hours) about 5 -6 hours of continuous battery operation is possible. Technical Specs:

This unit is a newer version (v.2) which represents an improvement over the one discussed at that site. Price includes shipping and Paypal fees within the CONUS.
International shipping may be possible but please contact me first. Will upload pics soon.
