Fidelix SATELLITE Head-Shell Built-In MC Head Amplifier System

In the late 1970s, Yamaha released the HA-2 and HA-3, which incorporated an MC head amplifier inside the headshell, implementing a revolutionary concept of amplifying micro-signals within the shell.
However, these products were extremely rare and are now difficult to obtain. In response, Fidelix developed the SATELLITE head amplifier system, combining Yamaha's concept with the high-rigidity shell structure of the MITCHAKU series and modern high-performance components.

Inside, it uses **2SK369 dual FETs (2 parallel configuration)** with the same chip structure as Yamaha's, doubling the current and theoretically reducing voltage noise by 3dB. Furthermore, **two independent AA nickel-hydrogen battery supplies (4 batteries in series per side)** achieve astonishing silence and low noise (input-referred noise voltage -154 dBV).

Components are carefully selected for both listening and measurement performance, including PRP non-magnetic resistors, PPS film capacitors, and Nichicon FG electrolytic capacitors, pursuing the 'truth of sound' beyond theory.
The shell leads use φ0.12mm 6N OFC 7-strand wires to faithfully transmit even the subtle nuances of the signal. A MITCHAKU headshell is included.
SATELLITE is not merely a reproduction; it is a reference model that reconstructs the essence of analog with modern precision.
It is a head amplifier embodying Fidelix's philosophy, where listening experience, measurement, and structure all converge.
