PA10 High Fidelity Phono Preamp


UNCOMPROMISED PHONO AMPLIFICATION AND EQUALIZATION
Precisely converts the turntable phono signal to line level, featuring an ultra high-accuracy frequency response to faithfully reproduce the original recording to the RIAA standard

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

LOW FREQUENCY RUMBLE FILTERING
This selectable high pass filter rolls off the low end frequencies below 20Hz. This slow gentle roll off is helpful to reduce subsonic resonant feedback and noise when listening at loud volumes

PROTECTED FROM ANY ELECTRONIC INTERFERENCE
Internal metal shielding enclosure to block electro-magnetic interference and electronic noise

I have the RT-81 (I’m 50, but it’s my first turntable) and started out just using the onboard preamp with Denon A/V receiver that doesn’t have one. After a few weeks using the onboard preamp, I purchased a Fosi Audio X4 with the little vacuum tubes. Good reviews, but the onboard preamp was better than the Fosi. So I returned the Fosi and ordered the Fluance PA-10. All I can say is wow. What a difference—night and day. Records suddenly came alive. I kinda regretted getting the RT-81 instead of the RT-85, but with this new preamp I’m totally satisfied as-is.

I’m no expert just someone who listened to vinyl back in the 70s who’s jumping back into it after decades away.
I own the RT-85 and the AI61 Powered 6.5" Stereo Bookshelf Speakers so why not keep it all in the Fluance family and get this preamp!
The music sounds great and it was simple to setup.
Owning it all the only additional item I needed was the RCA grounded cable.
My only complaint is there is no switch to shut the preamp off. It’s on 24/7 unless it’s unplugged.
I’m sure it doesn’t take much power but I unplug it when done as my electric bill is high enough. That’s a slight annoyance that could easily be fixed by Fluance for very little investment. -
Looks great, sounds even better. Easy to set up easy to use. Crisp clean sound gets better every use. Glad I went with the RT85
-
Easy to set up, small and unobtrusive, works fine so far. Fluance, says it all.
-
I gambled on if I really needed the preamp. My old JVC receiver from the early 80's had a phono input so I could use my new TT right away. Fluances' return policy made it a no gamble so I ordered one and also the cables. I was impressed with the difference. Just more accurate sound is all I can say. Really enjoy my albums now.
-
Easy to setup. Performs as advertised. When mated with the RT84 turntable produces excellent music without extraneous noise.
-
Does what is supposed to do, and no hum.
-
added this to my RT81 TT for more clarity and topend
-
Works flawlessly wit my RT 85.
-
Was highly disappointed with the sound quality of this pre amp. The sound was muffled and distorted. The integrated phono pre amp in my kenwood receiver was 10x better.

Le service chez Fluance a été numéro un sur toute la ligne: Commande facile par téléphone (avec un rabais de 5% en sus!), livraison en 48 hres, de l'aide technique par téléphone pour l'assemblage et une table tournante slick, puissante et Québecoise! Cliente contente!

I think the PA10 is great, I just wish I have waited a couple weeks to order my Turntable then I would have got it for free not just half price
-
This is an awesome little guy, not much else to say. You can buy a cheaper kind of device, but you will not get this level of quality.
-
Works well, sounds good!
-
Typical Fluance solid quality build. Simple to use and neutral sounding. No noise or hum. Gets the job done well.

FAQs
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.
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.
