Bakoon Products SCL CAP-1002 Small Phono Equalizer

Bakun Products has created the CAP series, which produces a high-quality music life in a size that fits perfectly in a narrow space.
The CAP-1002 was developed by Bakun Products to let as many people as possible know the merits of analog records.

Analog signals with infinite resolution can reproduce infinite information by using an analog equalizer. The CAP-1002 was developed to easily reproduce the original sound of analog records.
Although it is a non-feedback amplifier, the principle is that the amplification itself becomes a RIAA curve and is amplified, so there are no problems such as clipping. By using an MC cartridge with a large output current, it is possible to obtain a large signal-to-noise ratio that could not be achieved with conventional equalizer amplifiers, so it reproduces clear with little noise.

In addition to MM cartridges, the CAP-1002 can extract maximum noise-free information from MC cartridges with low output voltages by using the current mode of Bakun Products' synonymous SATRI circuit. By selecting the gain of the equalizer in two stages, the record can be played back in the optimal state by switching the cartridge with a small output to High and the cartridge with a large output to Low according to the output of the record cartridge to be used. In the CAP-1002, the equalizer element itself is switched, so there is no deterioration in the signal-to-noise ratio due to gain switching.

Uses battery power to shut out noise

You can use a USB charger or a mobile battery for mobile power. The current consumption is 5V 250mA, so it can be used for 40 hours with a 10AH battery. If you use a mobile battery, it will not be affected by noise, so you can operate the CAP-1002 in the best condition.

CAP-1002のデザインは、クロームが反射するメタルスイッチの配列が印象的なフロントパネルと贅肉を削ぎ落としたように薄いケーシングの佇まいは、シリーズの中でも精悍な雰囲気だ。 それでいてアナログレコードの世界を堪能するのには必要にして十分な機能がしっかり備わっている。 他のCAPシリーズと同様バッテリー電源なので、あのターンテーブル特有のノイズに悩まされる事がないのは素直に嬉しい。 しかもUSB供給なので、バッテリーは今やどこにでも手に入る。 気になる再生音は、上位機種のような滑らかで諧調が極細ではないが、その分押し出しがあって音のメリハリがありジャズやヴォーカルが好きな者としては、こちらの方が好印象だ。 古い1960年代のレコードを掛けても気になる様なノイズもなく透明感のある美しい歌声を聴かせてくれるのだから。。 コストパフォーマンスも半端ない。
