Product Description

You’ll never look back with hindsight when using the Sutherland Engineering 20/20 Mk2 phono preamplifier with the separate LPS linear power supply in your setup. The ultimate in channel separation, and featuring many of the finest elements of much costlier Sutherland models, 20/20 offers listeners the advantages of AC power-line isolation provided by battery operation without having to deal with the hassle of batteries. A recurring recipient of The Absolute Sound’s Editors’ Choice Award, the Sutherland Engineering 20/20 Mk2 serves as an innovative two-mono design – meaning it is literally two identical mono phono preamplifiers. Each channel gets its own circuit board, shielded compartment, power indicator, and power cord. The only shared parts on 20/20 fall to the front and back panels. Consider the Sutherland 20/20 Mk2 as the phono preamplifier equivalent of a pair of monoblock amplifiers – and boasting the same noise- and crosstalk-eliminating advantages, enhanced dynamic abilities, and natural sense of ease. Analog vision has seldom ever been clearer, particularly with the addition of Sutherland’s LPS linear power supply.

Indeed, the LPS option for the Sutherland Engineering 20/20 Mk2 further raises the spectacle of The Absolute Sound Editors’ Choice Award-winning 20/20 Mk2. Improving AC power line isolation, filtering, and regulation, thereby giving the audio circuits an optimal DC power foundation, the linear power supply lets the music flow with significantly enhanced purity and authority. Straightforward in simplicity, stability, and reliability, it contains no active voltage series regulators that add undesired colorations – and produces no switching regulator noise that pollutes the quality of AC power. Audiophile-grade capacitors and resistors crown a U.S.A.-built jewel that could easily justify a far steeper asking price.
