noiseless, distortion free switching. The Analog Inputs
can be matched in level, preventing abrupt changes in
volume levels.

latest designs providing the lowest possible noise and
distortion. The close tolerance resistors and capacitors
used in the RIAA Correction Equalization Circuitry
provides an extremely flat frequency response.
