About the FET Nine E
The Threshold FET Nine/e is a single-ended solid-state line and phono preamplifier with an external power supply. Its phono section supports both moving-magnet and moving-coil cartridges, offering approximately 37.7 dB MM gain and 58.5 dB MC gain, along with selectable cartridge loading: 32.2, 47.5, 100, or 47,000 ohms, with selectable capacitance from 50 to 250 pF. The unit uses gold-plated phono connectors, a stepped 32-position volume attenuator, and an absolute-phase-correct signal path. Published specifications include 20.57 dB line-stage gain, 0.007% line-stage distortion, and a frequency response extending from DC to 100 kHz.
