NAD

Our take on the NAD PP 2i

by Dave Bar

Bring your vinyl collection to life

A lot of receivers and amplifiers these days lack the phonograph input you need to hook up your turntable. And when manufacturers do include one, they sometimes use low-cost, low-performance circuitry that yields thin, lifeless results.  NAD's clean, simple PP 2i phono preamp takes advantage of high-quality, close-tolerance parts to give you the warm, richly detailed sound that vinyl is famous for, at a bargain price. It includes a newly designed external power supply that helps keep noise and interference away from sensitive electronics while also reducing energy consumption. 

This preamp offers inputs for both moving magnet and moving coil cartridges, to ensure proper matching with virtually any turntable and cartridge combination.  
 

Highlights:

  • compatible with moving magnet and moving coil phono cartridges
  • high-efficiency external power supply for reduced noise, interference, and power consumption
  • gold-plated input and output jacks for solid, corrosion-free connections
  • LED power indicator
  • signal-to-noise ratio: 80dB (MM), 78dB (MC)
  • rated distortion (THD 20-20,000 Hz): 0.03%
  • RIAA response accuracy: +/- 0.3dB
  • 5-3/8"W x 1-15/16"H x 3-1/16"D
  • warranty: 2 years
  • Our 60-day money-back guarantee

    At Crutchfield, you'll get detailed, accurate information that's hard to find elsewhere. That's because we have our own in-house Product Research team — they open the box, verify contents, check the owner's manual, and record dimensions, features and specs. We stay on top of new products and technologies to help people make informed choices.

    Features

    RIAA EQ: The built-in passive equalizer curve follows the RIAA standard within +/- 0.3 dB.

    MM/MC Phono Stage: The NAD PP-2i phono preamplifier accepts inputs from either moving magnet (MM) or moving coil (MC) cartridges.

    RCA Inputs: On the rear panel there are separate RCA inputs for MM and MC, and a switch to choose which you are using.

    RCA Output: A rear panel stereo RCA output is used for connecting the phono preamp to your home stereo receiver.

    Ground: A post on the rear panel provides easy grounding for your turntable.

    External Power Supply: The NAD PP-2i operates off of standard household current (120V AC, 60Hz) using the supplied AC power adapter (24V DC, 100mA). The external power adapter is separate from the phono preamp to further improve sound quality.
