The TC-770LC introduces both new features and more sophisticated styling to our extensive preamp line. All of our other MM phono preamp models provide the industry standard 38-40 dB of gain, more than enough if your moving magnet cartridge is typical. But what if your cartridge is not typical?
A number of high-end MM cartridge models feature lower output as part of their quest for better sound.
B&O's famous and well-respected MMC line of cartridges is an example; they produce only a third of typical output. 'Normal' phono preamps simply can't bring this tiny signal up to the level needed to match other sources like CD. Worse, if you own a B&O turntable, you have no choice in the matter since only B&O cartridges fit. Until now, you had to choose between either cranking your receiver or amp
waaaaay
up, or replacing your favorite cartridge (and maybe the turntable too) with something less classy. Our TC-770LC changes the rules by providing up to
60dB
MM phono gain, more than enough to raise that soft-spoken cartridge up to the level needed to drive your amp or receiver properly.We've even included a 5-pin DIN jack for B&O owners so you can connect your Beogram turntable without using an RCA adaptor! RCA jacks are provided as well for more mainstream turntables.

But wait, there's more!!!
The TC-770LC can do the same thing for your wimpy iPod or MP3 player. Plug your portable into the front panel jack and use the TC-770LC's variable  line level gain (up to 20dB) to match your stereo's other sources. Have a Philips or other brand network music player that just isn't as loud as your other analog sources? Connect it to  the TC-770LC's rear AUX input and access up to 20dB of boost. Throwing a party? Plug dynamic or condensor mics into the front panel jacks and transform your stereo into a PA or karaoke amp!
If connecting to a computer, simply substitute it in the diagram for the amplifer shown below. Use the sound card's LINE  INPUT jack,
NOT
the MIC IN.  Click on the diagram to see a larger version.
Any of the following labelled amplifier/receiver/minisystem input jacks can be used;  AUX, TAPE IN/PLAY, LINE IN, CD, TUNER, MD (MiniDisc), VIDEO or DVD (use the L&R
AUDIO
jacks so labelled; ignore the actual
yellow
VIDEO
jack if present).
Be sure to read our preamp buying guide
(button below) regardless of whether you are considering
one of our phono preamps or some other brand.
We include free of charge a stereo patch cord (for connection to a stereo)
and a mini-plug adaptor (to us with computers). The AC adaptor is also included.
