Alchemy™ Series

Alchemy performs LP magic.

The Alchemy PPA-2 is a full-featured phono preamp that uses all-

analog, discrete FET gain and EQ stages to transform microscopic

grooves in vinyl into stunningly lifelike music. The PPA-2 can be

tailored to specific cartridge requirements, with switchable gain for

each channel, MC cartridge loading, and stereo or mono operation. A

selection of RCA or XLR inputs and outputs adds even more flexibility

to the most versatile phono preamp in its class.

Phono Preamplifier

The art of Alchemy, completely reinvented.

Designed ground-up by the ELAC team, the new Alchemy Series

gives birth to a marriage of technologies, bringing further advances

to a name known for delivering performance and build quality

far exceeding its price. Every component incorporates relevant,

well-thought-out features and topology that is important to critical

listeners, like discrete implementation of power supply, preamplifier

and signal processing to bring you best-in-class sound. With years

of experience in award-winning analog and digital products, the

Alchemy Series establishes a new standard for value in the world

of high-end audio separates.
