Good: TCC TC-400GL Phono Preamp
Our
least costly model, the classic TC-400GL has
received a major makeover and upgrade. This new
generation is quieter, has flatter response and
comes with an external power supply that is usable
worldwide, regardless of country. If you're looking
for a phono preamp which you can hide behind your
equipment and forget, this is it. Simply connect
your turntable to the input, connect the output to a
receiver /amp line input (CD, AUX, TAPE etc) using
the supplied cable, and start listening to your
vinyl! This is an excellent choice for use with
music systems, soundbars, and home theater
receivers.

Better: Technolink TC-450 Mobile Phono Preamp
With a 70dB S/N ratio and 0.05% maximum distortion, the TC-450 is our only battery-powered model. One nine volt "C" battery will run this low current-draw preamp for many, many hours. Or you can use it with the optional AC power adaptor, just like our other models. Either way, this preamp (both lightest and smallest of any we sell) adds a new measure of flexibility for those of you recording or listening to your albums on the go. The same sturdy metal construction used in our other models provides excellent shielding, noise rejection and durability. |
||||||||
Way Better: TCC TC-750 Phono Preamp: Improved Edition with Even Better Specs Including 85dB S/N!!! Available in either BLACK or SILVER This
preamp features better specs than the phono sections
built into most component stereo receivers and amps!
Improved PCB layout and 1% tolerance resistors resulting
in extremely accurate RIAA equalization makes this
THE choice for use with high-end systems and sound
cards. If you're looking to make archival quality copies
of LPs on CD-R, or just looking to hear that analog LP
sound produced without coloration or added background
noise, this is definitely worth the small extra cost....
Very nice packaging makes this an excellent gift choice
for the audio perfectionist.

Best: TCC
TC-750LC Phono Preamp: Same Great Specs as our TC-750 PLUS an Output Level Control Available in either BLACK or SILVER We've taken the tried and true TC-750 and added an output level control to create the PERFECT preamp for use with computer sound cards. Adjustable output allows correct setting of recording levels, something you may find your burning software and / or sound card driver has insufficient range to permit. When used with a stereo, the control allows the phono source level to be set to match other inputs such as CD or video, so that switching between sources requires little or no change in the stereo's volume control setting. |

Technolink
TC-780LC
Stereo Line Level Amp / Booster Available in either BLACK or SILVER NOT A PHONO PREAMP!!!
The TC-780LC provides up to 20dB of gain for any line level source, allowing longer cable runs or that "bump" you need to cure low volume issues. Or you can use it to add a volume control between a line level source and a power amp which has no level adjustment of its own. It comes in both black and silver finish, has a front minijack for temporary connection of MP3 players and iPods, and includes a control-mounted power switch. DIN type 5-pin rear panel in/out jacks allow easy connection of older European brand equipment such as Bang & Olufsen,Tandberg and Revox. Have a magnetic cartridge turntable that just isn't loud enough compared to other sources? Our line amps can solve this problem for you; click on the image above to learn how! |

|||||||||
This preamp features stellar phono specs and performance, then adds the ability to also accept two microphones, either condensor or dynamic, to allow stereo live recording. These mic inputs are MUCH better than the ones found on most PC sound cards, because not only do they provide a superior signal-to-noise ratio, they work properly with dynamic mics and musical instrument pickups which do not require a bias voltage (sound card mic inputs generally will not work properly with these, resulting in very poor reproduction). Classy retail packaging makes this a super gift choice for the budding musician or recording enthusiast.... |
$55.50 plus shipping A variable level output control and the ability to handle line, musical instrument pickup, dynamic mics AND phono input signals makes this model very handy indeed. This is an excellent front end for sound reinforcement applications that don't require the complexity of a mixer but that may require handling varying source and output level requirements from job to job. DJs and roadies in a pinch will benefit from having one of these in their tool box to take the place of larger, more expensive equipment. The rear-panel attenuator switch allows use with higher level line sources such as tape decks, CD or TV audio. The TC-740A is the ultimate Swiss knife of preamps... |

Technolink TC-753LC RIAA Phono
Preamp With Switchable Aux Input and Output Level Control Available in either BLACK or SILVER $57.50 plus shipping Frustrated
by
the lack of inputs on your minisystem or home theatre
receiver? Tired of having to unplug your TV audio or MP3
player whenever you want to play or record an LP? This
phono preamp is for you. Our TC-753LC features excellent
specs (equivalent
to the much more expensive TC-754) and provides a single line input to
replace the one it connects to on your receiver or
amplifier. Now there's no reason to choose between specs
and convenience; you can have both!
|
Technolink TC-754 RIAA
Phono Preamp;
Three Switchable Aux Inputs and Output Level Control Available in either BLACK or SILVER $73.50 plus shipping Need
extra inputs? Our most versatile model combines
exceptional phono preamp performance with three additional
aux level audio inputs, then adds
a variable output level control. Soft-touch switches
control power on/off and source selection. While off,
the TC-754 even remembers what source was last
selected, and returns to it when powered back
up. The output level control allows connection to a
power amp either directly or through an equalizer; or
it can simply be used to fine tune the audio level
sent to your computer sound card or receiver.
Spectacular RIAA equalization accuracy and a S/N ratio
of 85dB places the TC-754 among our top performing
models; its additional features are extra icing on the
cake!

Technolink TC-778 RIAA
Phono Preamp
With 78rpm Equalization Switch and Input Use one table for playing 78s and another for LPs, and switch between them without swapping cables! $65.50 plus shipping Have you
tried listening to or copying 78RPM records using the
phono input on your stereo or an RIAA preamp, and found
the result unmusical and harsh? The TC-778 combines our
proven low noise stage design found in the TC-750 with
the ability to select equalization much more appropriate
for playing and recording 78rpm records. Standard RIAA
equalization for playing LPs can be selected as well.
Dedicated rear input jacks accomodate separate LP
and 78 tables; or the same input can be used for both
(for those buyers who have one table capable of playing
all record speeds). Simply set the rear panel switch to
the position (connect or isolate) which suits your
situation.

TC-770LC
High Gain Phono/Mic/Aux Preamp The features of our TC-740A and TC-780LC (and then some) combined in one model! $87.50 plus shipping
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. This preamp is different; up to 60dB of gain is available to deal with lower output MM cartridges that sound great but just aren't as loud as other sources like CD. A front panel iPod/MP3 input with up to 20dB boost allows your portable player to be heard thru your home system without having to crank your stereo's volume control to the moon. And we've included front panel inputs that accept both dynamic and condenser mics, and a rear AUX input that also can be boosted up to 20dB. |

Technolink TC-721
Turntable or Line Level Source Selector $31.50 plus shipping Unlike
most source selectors, the TC-721 can be used with phono
level signals. This allows two turntables to be
connected to the same phono preamp (or phono input on a
receiver). Because both the positive and neutral signal
lines for each
input are switched,
this selector will also provide superior isolation and
loop hum rejection if used for switching line level (CD,
AUX, TAPE etc) signals.

Technolink
TC-781 Eight Input Line Level Source Selector $44.50 plus shipping Too
many sources and not enough analog inputs? No open
input to connect your new phono preamp and turntable
to? The TC-781 insures you'll never have these
problems again, providing EIGHT stereo inputs while
only utilizing one on your stereo. We supply labels so
you can easily designate and remember which switches
control your various audio sources. All switches are
interlocked; selecting a new source releases the
previously selected input.

TCC TC-25 5-Way Stereo Speaker Selector $39.50 plus shipping This model allows you to connect up to five pairs of speakers to a stereo originally equipped to support only one or two pair. One or five or any combination in between can be selected to play at once. Power rating (per channel) is 50 watts; A headphone jack and output protection against shorts are also provided. |
TCC TC-9 4-Way Stereo Speaker Selector $33.50 plus shipping This model allows you to connect up to four pairs of speakers to a stereo originally equipped to support only one or two pair. One or four or any combination in between can be selected to play at once. Power rating (per channel) is 200 watts; this model provides NO output protection against shorts. |
||||||||
TCC TC-716 6-Way Stereo Source Selector Available in either BLACK or SILVER $29.50 plus shipping This
model allows you to connect up to five stereo aux level
sources to one input. One or five or any
combination in between can be selected to mix and play
at once. Unused inputs can be "reversed" and used as
outputs to additional amps or recording devices. Four
jack sets are RCA type; the remaining two are 3.5mm
stereo minijacks (the kind found on Discmen and MP3
players).
|
TCC TC-37 3/2 Way Source/Speaker Selector $33.50 plus shipping This
model allows you to add BOTH additional sources and more
speakers to a mini-system or home theatre receiver.
Expand a single CD or AUX input to connect up to three
sources; TV audio, MP3 players, etc... This unit also
allows you to connect and select between two speaker
pairs, even if your stereo only has one set of outputs.
The speaker switch portion can handle amps and receivers
rated up to 200 watts per channel. This unit is totally
passive and requires no power. A sturdy metal case
provides excellent shielding and durability.

TEC TC-616 6-Way Stereo Amplifier/Speaker Comparator $54.50 plus shipping If you've been looking for a way to select between several stereo amps or receivers to power just one pair of speakers, this is for you. If instead you need the means to select from several pairs of speakers for comparison purposes, the TC-616 can do that too. Commercial duty products that can provide these abilities cost hundreds of dollars and are usually meant the be rack or custom installed in audio store displays; ours will work anywhere, without special plugs or connectors. |
Two Composite / S-Video Stereo A/V Switchers to Choose From $24.50 plus shipping Both of these feature four inputs and the ability to convert S-video signals to a composite video output. Add more inputs to to your current monitor/TV; one of these even can be used with analog TVs that have no input other than an antenna jack! |

Our TC-760LC;
the NAD PP-2
Finally Meets Its Match at a Much Lower Price! Available in either BLACK or SILVER
The
NAD PP-2 is a great product; for years it has ruled the
roost among MM/MC preamps. But our TC-760LC aims to
change that. Additional features like an output level
control, ability to connect MM and MC turntables
simultaneously (selecting between them at the push of a
switch), and selectable hi/lo MC input inpedance make
the TC-760LC the better value; superior specs make it
the better choice as well. A price way below the NAD
provides the frosting on this particular cake!

Technolink TC-7510 Stereo 24 bit / 96kHz
Four Input PCM D/A Converter w/Built-in Headphone Amp $109.50 plus shipping Need more digital inputs than your amp or receiver has? Want better quality conversion than your systems's built-in D/A converter provides? Or perhaps your older amp or receiver has no digital inputs, but you just can't bear to give it up... Here's the solution. Our TC-7510 provides four digital inputs (two Toslink/optical and two RF/coaxial) and two analog outputs, using a Burr-Brown PCM-1716 / Crystal CS-8414 chipset. A substantial metal case and universal voltage SMPS external power supply insure low noise, wide dynamic range and superior sound quality. The built-in 700mW headphone amp with level control permits private listening to a digital source while your main amp plays a different source thru speakers. |
