SOPHISTICATED CIRCUIT DESIGN ENGINEERED WITH PREMIUM COMPONENTS

High accuracy components, low noise power supply, and low impedance output stage achieve greater RIAA specification, gain performance and lower distortion

VIVID STEREO SOUNDSTAGE

Utilizing individual left and right channel OP amps provide optimal channel separation and virtually no crosstalk during signal reproduction and amplification stages

Joe W January 12, 2023 Michigan, United States: Love it.

It was an easy setup, and it sounds fantastic. I've invited several people over to listen to my new system, and they all comment on the quality sound. This is my first preamp purchase, so I don't have another to compare it to; however, this seems to set a very high bar.

Leslie L December 30, 2022 Ontario, Canada: Upgrade from old vintage stereo

I inherited a vintage Sansui system from 35+ years ago, I'm no techie and it takes up a lot of space. Decided to sell and invest in something else, Fluance was Cdn so I landed on their website. I purchased the amp, speakers and R85 turntable. It's beautiful and the sound is amazing. The speakers are bluetooth so my digital music gets played too.

Justin R December 11, 2022 Utah, United States: PA10 pre amp is a miss

I purchased the PA10 pre-amp, RT84 TT, and Ai41 book shelf speakers. The PA10 phono pre amp is marginal at best. Sound drops in and out due to low quality filter. No power button so unit has to be regularly power cycled for normal operation. Ai41 speakers sound 3x better playing wifi tunes through my phone than through this pre-amp.... Do not be fooled like I was.

Paige D November 4, 2022: works great

Works great with my vintage Pioneer turntable - sounds clear and crisp. I tried a more expensive pre-amp with tubes and sounds terrible. This Fluance is the one for me and for a great price.

feefee221 October 31, 2022: What a difference a quality preamp makes.

Good quality and noise reduction. The only thing missing is a volume control.

Daniel N October 28, 2022: No audio after months of use

After about 5 of months using this probably two or three times a month, I no longer have any audio through the receiver it was plugged into with anything. Bluetooth receiver, aux cord, record player, or tuner. I think this device killed my speaker channels.

Daniel H. October 13, 2022 Massachusetts, United States: Fluance PA10 - Hight Fidelity Phono Preamp

I was hesitant in purchasing the Fluance PA10 - High Fidelity Phono Preamp because I have a phono input on my Yamaha SA-801 integrated amp. Yet the out put sounded thin which required me to increase the bass input a little. So, for $100 I gave it a shot and hooked it up to a line input on my amp. And must share that I was pleasantly suprised with obvious improvement in the mid low bass playback. I don't need to increase the bass level on my amp at the same volume/listening playback level. I felt the room presurize with the subwoofer. A good friend came over today and validated everything I experienced. So, it was a valued purchase to compliment my Fluance RT85 turntable.

How to Connect the PA10 Phono Preamp to a Fluance Reference Turntable and Ai60 Powered Speakers

What is a Phono preamp and what should you look for in one? Which is better: internal or external?

How To Fix Turntable Distortion

FAQs

When do I need a Preamplifier?

A preamp converts a weak signal from a turntable into a signal strong enough to be sent through an amplifier or powered speakers without noise or distortion.
A preamp is required when your turntable does not have one internally, such as the Reference series turntables, or when your receiver or powered speakers do not have a PHONO input.

Is this preamplifier the same as the one in the Classic and Elite turntables?

While the preamplifier found in the Classic and Elite turntables is a quality preamp, the PA10 external preamp is a high-performance model and very different from the internal preamp.

PA10 outputs at 37.5dB compared to the 34dB of the internal models and also includes 4 single channel preamp chips as opposed to 1. This provides your speakers with a strong signal requiring less amplification, reducing distortion at higher volume.

Does the PA10 use RIAA equalization?

Absolutely! The PA10 preamplifier uses RIAA equalization to provide you with an ultra high-accuracy frequency response so you can listen to your favorite music the way it was meant to be heard.

What audio cables should I use with PA10?

While audio cables are not included with the PA10, we offer high quality RCA audio cables for use with our turntables and preamp! We recommend grounding both the turntable and speakers to the preamp for the cleanest signal quality.
