Featuring exceptionally low noise levels and precise equalization characteristics, the C-47 boasts a two-stage design meticulously engineered to handle MC and MM cartridges with optimal performance. Its low-noise head amplifier, designed for high gain (MC: 50 dB, MM: 20 dB), minimizes the influence of noise components in subsequent equalization stages, ensuring outstanding low-noise performance alongside highly accurate equalization properties. This design choice results in unparalleled fidelity and clarity in audio reproduction.

A groundbreaking addition to the series, the C-47 introduces a fully balanced configuration, effectively shielding against external noise interference. Employing balanced signal amplification throughout, starting from the cartridge output treated as a balanced signal, through the head amplifier's balanced amplification, and maintaining balanced signal transmission post-head amplifier, ensures consistent and pristine signal integrity. Furthermore, the equalizer amplifier adopts a balanced configuration, ensuring complete balanced signal transmission for comprehensive equalization, delivering an immersive and authentic audio experience.

Incorporating a meticulously engineered low-noise regulated power supply circuitry, the C-47 guarantees stable and high-quality power delivery crucial for handling delicate phono signals. The smoothing circuitry, featuring specially selected capacitors known for their sonic properties, virtually eliminates adverse effects from ripple currents. Additionally, the use of a regulated power supply circuit with minimal noise voltage and exceptional load fluctuation handling further ensures that the power supply remains silent, preserving the purity of the audio signal. Moreover, the inclusion of a dedicated balanced MC phono input enables seamless integration with balanced signal transmission, allowing audiophiles to fully leverage the capabilities of their analogue record players with confidence and precision.
