Inside the headshell, the soul of a former masterpiece

The ultimate MC head amplifier revived with modern technology

Description

In the late 1970s, Yamaha released the HA-2 and HA-3, which incorporated an MC head amplifier inside the head shell and realized the revolutionary concept of amplifying and transmitting minute signals within the shell.
However, the products at that time were extremely rare and are difficult to obtain now. Therefore, Fidelix developed the head amplifier system "SATELLITE", which combines the highly rigid shell structure of the MITCHAKU series with modern high-performance components while maintaining compatibility with Yamaha's philosophy.

Inside, it uses **2SK369 dual FET (2-para configuration)**, which has the same chip structure as Yamaha. This doubles the amount of current and theoretically reduces voltage noise by 3dB. Furthermore, **Independent left and right AA nickel metal hydride power supplies (4 each in series)** achieves amazing silence and low noise (input equivalent noise voltage -154dBV).

We have carefully selected parts that are excellent in terms of both audibility and measurement results, such as PRP non-magnetic resistors, PPS film capacitors, and Nichicon FG electrolytic capacitors. We pursue the "truth of sound" that goes beyond logic.
The shell lead uses 7 strands of φ0.12mm 6N OFC wire to faithfully transmit even the minute texture of the signal. Comes with MITCHAKU head shell.
SATELLITE is not just a reprint, but a reference model that recreates the essence of analog with modern precision.
This head amplifier embodies Fidelix's philosophy, combining audibility, measurement, and construction.
