Does anyone know anything about a Forte FP-1 phono

Hey gang,I've been looking high and low for a Threshold FET 10P phono stage with no luck. I just ran into a Forte (by Threshold) FP-1. The person selling it has no manual, and seems to think it is a mm phono only?? That seems odd for Threshold. Are any of you familiar with this unit? I know it's not going to be a 10P, but if it's a nice sounding piece, it will get me by until I find what I'm looking for. Please help! Thanks, Tom [email protected]

Forte was one of the best values in high end - I owned the 4A amp and am familiar with the FP1 - it retailed for 750 and is both a mm and mc phono stage.- its thd is .005 - it is very quiet but I do not remember the gain or loading options.

Other than what Ljgj stated above, the only things that i can add is that the unit was still available in 1995, max output is 8 volts, distortion is rated at .005, MM sensitivity is rated at 1 mv ( no spec on MC ), MM S/N ratio is 85 dB's at A weighting and MC S/N ratio is 74 dB's. RIAA tolerance is spec'd at +/- .25 dB according to the literature i have on it. No information about loading, whether it has two different inputs or one that is switch selectable, etc.... Hope this helps... Sean
