About the DA-C20

The Mitsubishi Diatone DA-C20 is a Japanese dual-monaural stereo tuner-preamplifier from the late 1970s. It combines an FM tuner with phono, line-level, and preamplifier sections and was designed for use with a separate power amplifier. Published specifications include a 10 Hz–100 kHz preamplifier frequency response, 0.003% total harmonic distortion, MC and MM phono inputs, and a 1 V preamplifier output. The available catalog evidence identifies the model in 1978; the specific 1976–1980 production range and approximately US$490 original price are not sufficiently substantiated.
