Model 4716 Shgiaraki CD Transport
(comes with power supply and remote control)
The design priority of Flatfish being employed straight into the Shigaraki transport. In combination with the Shigaraki DAC, it performs so close to its senior brother Flatfish-Progression at much lower price.
The drive mechanism, the lens-actuator assembly, and the circuit board are firmly attached to the sub-chassis. Due to the use of a highly rigid housing, Shigaraki-ware ceramic, it is structured resonance free. An extremely simple digital output circuit design releases digital signals from any stress.

Model 4715 Shigaraki D/A Converter
(comes with power supply unit)
Shigaraki DAC has almost the same circuitry as Progression DAC. Designed with non-oversampling, no digital nor analog filter, with passive I/V conversion. The DAC unit and the power supply unit are encased in Shigaraki –ware ceramic housing. Its non-conductive character makes its ound smooth and open.

Model 4717 Shigaraki Amplifier
(comes with power supply)
Shigaraki Amplifier incorporates almost the same circuitry as the Gaincard. The DAC amplifier unit features 3 inputs and 1 line out to perform as an integrated amplifier.
Like the Gaincard, Shigaraki Amplifier has incredibly versatile speaker drivability.

4718 Shigaraki Phono
(comes with power supply unit)
This also uses the almost the same circuitry as the Model 4712 Phono Cube, housed in the same Shigaraki ware ceramic as the Model 4715 DAC, and is proud of smooth sound with fine texture in full scale stage. Difference from Model 4712 is that the power supply unit for Model 4718 is a single p.c. board and used commonly for the right and left channels. It is possible to use Model 4700 PSU for the Model 4718. (We do not accept sales of #4718 equalizer unit only.)

About Current Amplification: An MC cartridge output voltage is only one twentieth or thirtieth of that of an MM cartridge. However, it is not widely known that MC outrages MM in respect to "generating capacity = output voltage X output current". 47 Laboratory chose "current amplification" type instead of conventional "voltage amplification" type for our phono equalizers so that rich "generating capacity" can be fully taken in. 0 ohm input impedance of Models 4712 Phono Cube and Model 4718 Shigaraki Phono may sound strange to those who are familiar with generally known "input impedance be 47K ohm". Zero-ohm means the value of input impedance of #4712 and #4718 without being connected with a phono cartridge. When a cartridge is connected, the cartridge's internal impedance is to be taken in as the input impedance of the equalizer. So, when a 2 ohm internal impedance cartridge is used, the equalizer's input impedance becomes 2 ohm, and 3 ohm for a 3 ohm cartridge. Hence, two merits are obtained; one is perfect impedance matching between the equalizer and a cartridge drawing 100% of a cartridge potential and another is removal of negative load resistance producing neither deforming of dynamic ups and downs of music signals from the cartridge nor coloring signals by resistance.
