Super Rare STAX PS-3 power supply RIAA with ECC-1 (even rarer) module (for CP-Y and more electrostatic cartridges) Phono stageUniversal Phono stage WITH the exotic ECC-1 Equalizer module Phono stage module cardClass-A Push pull from Stax Japan. Proportion matches other STAX components, for example its talent DACThis RIAA is compatible with the equalizer circuit boards as well(interchangable):EMM-1 (MM) for any MM cartridgeECC-1 (for CP-Y) and CP-X (Electret)EMC-1 (M...C) for any MC cartridgeBut his one has the hyper rare ECC-1 board that you can use with Stax Electrostatic cartridges. This is probably the best electrostatic RIAA/Phono stage that you can get, better than the POD-X / POD-XE / ECP-1 Electrostatic Phono Cartridge condenser, and I have never seen ECC-1 for sale before. What is nice about this is just plug and play, no batteries and such...
