Head

Amplifier

Generally,

the

very

low

level

signals

produced

by

an

MC

(moving

coil)

cartridge

are

amplified

by

step-

up

transformer.

On

the

other

hand,

in

the

TA-E88/TA-ES88B,

this

amplification

is

performed

by

a

built-in

head

ampli-

fier.

Although

the

use

of

active

amplification

ele-

ments

(rather

than

passive

transformers)

causes

some

deterioration

of

S/N

ratio,

these

problems

have

been

successfully

overcome

in

the

TA-E88/E88B

by

employing

parallel-connected

transistors

in

the

head

amplifier.

The

head

amplifier

includes

a

main

amplifier

stage

consisting

of

eight

transistors

(Q101

to

Q108)

con-

nected

in

parallel,

and

another

eight

transistors

(Q109

to

Q116)

When

is

Switched

On

1)

The

B+

and

B—

voltages

are

produced

as

soon

as

the

switch

is

turned

on.

2)

Since

the

base

of

Q902

is

connected

through

R906

to

an

uncharged

capacitor

C911,

the

base

voltage

is

When

is

turned

on,

C911

starts

to

charge

up,

and

B+

and

B—

voltages

also

increase

gradual-

ly.

3)

After

the

B+

and

B—

voltages

have

become

stable,

and

C911

fully

charged

up,

Q902

and

Q903

turn

Therefore,

of

The

shown

as

the

gain

(between

and

for

Q405

is

the

voltage

gain.

This

is

important

because

since

Q405

employs

the

as

of

G405..

This

gain

should

really

be

as

Q401

is

not

at

Q401

(12).

However,

2.2Vp-p

(about

signal

appears

at

the

collector

of

Q407,

and

is

extracted

from

the

emitter

follower.

The

is

shown

in

Fig.

12.

An

NFB

of

77dB

is

applied

to

the

amplifier

which

has

97dB

open-loop

gain.

Since

the

gain

of

an

NFB

amplifier

is

reduced

only

by.

the

amount

of

NFB

applied

to

that

stage,

the

level

at

the

drain

of

the

Q401

becomes

—84dB.

This

is

the

reason

why

the

signal

level

is

too

to..be

at

of
