The Hegel V10 is a high-performance phono preamplifier designed for true analog purists. With over 30 years of experience in discrete transistor circuit design, Hegel has brought the same engineering precision found in their renowned amplifiers to the world of vinyl. The result is a phono stage that is exceptionally neutral, profoundly dynamic, and capable of revealing the finest musical details buried in the grooves.
The V10 is fully dual-mono and built around a meticulously designed layout to minimize crosstalk and interference. It features ultra-low noise power supplies, discrete gain stages, and a fully balanced signal path—ensuring a dead-silent background and a startling level of resolution. Whether you're running a moving magnet or moving coil cartridge, the V10 offers highly flexible loading options, allowing precise matching for optimal performance.
Every element of the V10’s design serves a singular purpose: to deliver the signal from your cartridge to your amplifier with absolute integrity. There's no digital processing, no coloration, and no compromises—just pure analog performance rooted in decades of experience. It doesn’t just reproduce records; it brings them to life. If you value tonal accuracy, holographic imaging, and emotional engagement, the V10 is a phono stage that invites serious listening.

Key Features
High-end Isolation
The chassis is divided into two compartments, physically separating the power supplies from the sensitive amplification circuitry. There is simply no detectable interference between the two parts. For the best possible connection, they have fitted the V10 with gold-plated terminals, balanced XLR outputs, and a solid custom grounding screw.
No interference allowed
The input signal feeds into equally silent amplifier circuits, where both the MM and the MC gain stages use ultra-low-noise power supplies built with discrete bipolar transistors to keep the signal noise at a minimum. Details like this keep the signal free of intrusive noise for a much better playback result.
Limitless Flexibility
When using a MM cartridge, you can freely increase the Capacitance between 100 and 467 pF and when using a MC cartridge, the impedance can be set freely between 33 and 550 ohms or fixed at 47 kohm. This attention to detail in the design phase allows you to change your cartridge whenever you want.
Not one size fits all
When using a MM cartridge, you can freely increase the Capacitance between 100 and 467 pF and when using a MC cartridge, the impedance can be set freely between 33 and 550 ohms or fixed at 47 kohm. On both MM and MC, the gain can be increased by 5, 10 or 12 dB, matching the output of your other sources, the V10 even has a Subsonic Filter to remove unwanted low frequency noise. And at the end of the night, when the listening session takes you way past bedtime and you forget to turn off the V10, the adjustable auto standby function does that for you. All this makes the V10 the perfect companion for your vinyl setup. Finding the perfect synergy between your system and your listening preferences. Transporting you into the groove.
Note - Do not use the moving magnet and moving coil RCA inputs at the same time.
Listening to vinyl is a tactile experience.
You carefully open the album jacket, remove the record from the inner sleeve, inspect for dust or scratches, place it on the platter, and slowly let the needle drop to let the sound out. It is all about you and your music, selected for exactly this moment. With the V10 Hegel aims to make this special experience even better. Developed from the ground up and utilizing truly clever and unique technologies, the V10 will give you an unprecedented transparency and soundscape – Making the music you hear as tangible and real as the record it is pressed into.
Divide and conquer
Hegel achieved this level of performance because everything on the V10 is designed with the sole purpose of making your music sound as good as possible. The chassis is divided into two compartments, physically separating the power supplies from the sensitive amplification circuitry. There is simply no detectable interference between the two parts. For the best possible connection, they have fitted the V10 with gold-plated terminals, balanced XLR outputs, and a solid custom grounding screw. On the all-important input stage, they have used ultra-low-noise discrete JFET transistors for both the Moving Magnet (MM) and Moving Coil (MC) input. Eliminating external noise is especially important when using sensitive low output MC cartridges. That is why they have fitted the MC input with four such transistors connected in parallel. Making the input completely silent and stopping any bias current feedback to the cartridge coil.
The input signal feeds into equally silent amplifier circuits, where both the MM and the MC gain stages use ultra-low-noise power supplies built with discrete bipolar transistors to keep the signal noise at a minimum. This ensures an extremely accurate amplification of the input signal coming from the turntable. And to make sure the V10 gets the best operating conditions, it is supplied with a linear, low noise, analog AC-power supply. This features a large, custom design, E-core transformer, placed in its own housing to eliminate all possibility of interference. For us it has been particularly important that all vinyl enthusiasts get to enjoy the V10. So, out of the box it is configured as an excellent plug and play MM preamplifier. For many, this is exactly what they want and need, but some want even more. That is why Hegel made the V10 highly optimizable, catering to individual preferences and requirements in set up, the V10 can be adjusted for any MM and MC cartridge.
