Insight -a phono-preamplification instrument by Sutherland Engineering
Insight... There comes a tipping point of accumulated knowledge that insists upon a new product. Insight gained from the design of preceding phono preamps opened up a new possibility. The Insight can be viewed (and appreciated) from many angles. My favorite is 'pride of ownership'. Although not expensive by high end standards, the Insight is a combination of solid, thoughtful engineering – with an artisanal attention to every design decision. Every detail matters; good enough is NOT good enough.
CONNECTING The symbols on the back of the Insight show signal path. The inner two RCA jacks are inputs for your turntable. The outer two connect the Insight to your preamplifier. The post in middle is for your turntable’s ground wire, if it has one. RIGHT Turntable LEFT Preamp CONFIGURATION Conventional designs use inexpensive, low-quality computer rocker switches. Their design is inadequate for configuring the low-level signal from a phono cartridge.
