Its internal circuitry was developed with the assistance of Tim de Paravicini — the legendary British electronics engineer responsible for designing Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab's Gain2 Ultra Analog cutting system, the mastering chain used to cut MoFi's acclaimed Original Master Recording and UltraDisc One-Step vinyl releases.

The goal was to replicate at the playback stage the same wide-bandwidth transparency that MoFi's mastering engineers require when cutting lacquers — a standard that demands vanishingly low noise, accurate RIAA equalization, and the ability to resolve the full dynamic and tonal content buried in the groove without editorial coloration. THD measures below 0.006% in moving-magnet mode and below 0.055% in moving-coil mode, confirming that the UltraPhono's amplification stages introduce minimal harmonic distortion across the gain range. Four gain settings — 40 dB, 46 dB, 60 dB, and 66 dB — cover the output range of virtually every moving-magnet and moving-coil cartridge in current production, from high-output MM designs at 5mV and above to the lowest-output MC cartridges at 0.2mV and below.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eAdjustable Loading, Subsonic Filter, Mono Mode, and External Power Supply\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCartridge loading is fully adjustable for moving-coil cartridges across six settings — 75, 100, 500, 1000, 10,000, and 47,000 ohms — allowing the UltraPhono to be tuned to the optimal termination impedance for any MC cartridge, which directly affects frequency response, channel balance, and the dynamic character of the cartridge's output. Moving-magnet cartridges are fixed at the industry-standard 47,000-ohm load with 100pF input capacitance. A switchable subsonic filter attenuates low-frequency rumble below the audio band — warp frequencies and turntable bearing noise — preventing woofer over-excursion and intermodulation distortion that subsonic energy causes in the downstream amplifier and loudspeakers. A mono mode switch sums the left and right channels electrically, enabling proper playback of mono LPs without the channel-difference noise and lateral groove noise that stereo playback of a mono record introduces. The external power supply separates the mains conversion stage from the phono and headphone amplifier circuits, eliminating the most significant source of noise ingress in phono stage design and providing a regulated, clean DC feed to the sensitive low-level gain stages inside the UltraPhono chassis.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eClass A Headphone Amplifier\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe UltraPhono incorporates a dedicated Class A headphone amplifier stage — a circuit topology in which the output devices conduct continuously throughout the full signal cycle rather than switching on and off, eliminating the crossover distortion that characterizes Class AB designs. With a maximum output of 8V RMS at 62 ohms and 1.5 watts per channel, the headphone amplifier drives demanding high-impedance headphones — including planar magnetic designs and 300-ohm dynamic transducers — to reference listening levels without clipping or compression. Volume is controlled in 31 discrete 2 dB steps across a 62 dB range for precise level setting, and a mute switch provides at least minus 90 dB of attenuation for silent source switching. Minimum recommended headphone impedance is 10 ohms, making the UltraPhono compatible with virtually all current headphone designs from sensitive in-ear monitors to full-size open-back reference

UltraPhono is a reference-grade phono preamplifier from Mobile Fidelity Electronics, with internal circuitry developed in collaboration with Tim de Paravicini — the engineer behind MoFi's Gain2 Ultra Analog cutting system. It offers selectable gain from 40 dB to 66 dB for both MM and MC cartridges, six MC loading options from 75 to 47,000 ohms, a switchable subsonic filter, mono mode, an external power supply, and a built-in Class A headphone amplifier delivering 8V RMS and 1.5 watts per channel with a 31-step volume control. It is available at Vinyl Sound in Toronto, Canada.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the UltraPhono compare to the Musical Fidelity M6 Vinyl and the Parks Audio Budgie?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe UltraPhono holds meaningful advantages over both competitors. Against the Musical Fidelity M6 Vinyl, a dual-mono phono stage with fixed MM and MC gain stages and a separate power supply, the UltraPhono adds a built-in Class A headphone amplifier with 1.5 watts per channel — an entire second component's worth of functionality — plus Tim de Paravicini's circuit involvement and direct lineage to the MoFi mastering chain that cut the records the stage is designed to play. Against the Parks Audio Budgie, a tube-based MM-only phono stage without MC capability or headphone output, the UltraPhono offers full MM and MC compatibility across four gain settings, six MC loading options, mono mode, and subsonic filtering in a solid-state design with measured THD below 0.006% in MM mode. Neither competitor combines the Gain2 mastering heritage, Class A headphone amplification, full MM and MC flexibility, and an external power supply in a single chassis at the UltraPhono's specification level.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat does Tim de Paravicini's involvement mean for the UltraPhono?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTim de Paravicini was one of the most respected analog electronics engineers of the modern era, responsible for designing amplifiers, tape machines, and cutting systems for clients including EAR Yoshino, Esoteric Audio Research, and Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab. His work on MoFi's Gain2 Ultra Analog cutting system established the mastering signal chain used to produce MoFi's Original Master Recording and UltraDisc One-Step vinyl pressings. His assistance with the UltraPhono's circuit topology means the stage is designed to the same wide-bandwidth, low-coloration standard that MoFi's mastering engineers require when cutting lacquers — a benchmark derived from professional mastering practice rather than consumer audio convention.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow do I choose the right gain setting on the UltraPhono for my cartridge?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe correct gain setting on the UltraPhono depends on the output voltage of the cartridge in use and the sensitivity of the connected integrated amplifier or preamplifier. Moving-magnet cartridges typically output between 3mV and 6mV and work best with the 40 dB or 46 dB settings, which bring the signal to a standard line-level output without over-driving the downstream component. High-output moving-coil cartridges outputting 1.5mV to 2.5mV also suit the 40 dB or 46 dB settings. Low-output MC cartridges outputting 0.2mV to 0.5mV require the 60 dB or 66 dB settings to reach the same line level. MoFi Electronics' cartridge loading guide, included with the UltraPhono, provides a reference table matching gain and loading settings to specific cartridge models.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan the UltraPhono drive planar magnetic headphones?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, the UltraPhono's Class A headphone amplifier delivers up to 8V RMS and 1.5 watts per channel, providing sufficient voltage swing and current output to drive most planar magnetic headphones to reference listening levels. Planar magnetic designs from Audeze, HiFiMAN, and Meze Audio — which typically present impedances between 20 and 100 ohms and require more current than high-impedance dynamic headphones — fall well within the UltraPhono's minimum 10-ohm impedance specification and output power capability. The 31-step volume control provides precise level setting without the channel imbalance that resistive volume controls exhibit at low attenuation levels.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is the subsonic filter on the UltraPhono and when should I use it?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe subsonic filter on the UltraPhono attenuates very low frequency energy — typically below 20 Hz — that enters the phono signal chain as warp noise, turntable bearing rumble, and acoustic feedback. This infrasonic content is inaudible directly but causes the woofers of loudspeakers to move visibly and consumes amplifier headroom, raising the noise floor and introducing intermodulation distortion that masks musical detail in the audible band. The subsonic filter should be engaged when playing warped records, when using a turntable in a room with significant floor-borne vibration, or whenever visible woofer movement is observed during playback. For flat, well-pressed records on a well-isolated turntable, the filter can be switched out to preserve the widest possible bandwidth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere can I buy the MoFi Electronics UltraPhono in Toronto or Canada?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe MoFi Electronics UltraPhono phono stage is available at Vinyl Sound, an authorized Mobile Fidelity Electronics dealer in Toronto, Canada. Vinyl Sound carries the complete MoFi Electronics electronics lineup and can assist customers across Toronto and Canada with cartridge and turntable matching, gain and loading configuration advice, and system integration for both analog and headphone listening setups.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes the UltraPhono work as a standalone headphone amplifier without a turntable?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe UltraPhono's headphone amplifier is integrated into the phono stage chassis and operates in conjunction with the phono circuitry rather than as a fully independent line-level headphone amplifier. It is designed primarily to allow intimate headphone listening from a vinyl source without requiring a separate headphone amplifier component. For headphone listening from digital sources — a DAC, streamer, or CD player — a dedicated headphone amplifier or the headphone output of an integrated amplifier would be the more appropriate solution, and Vinyl Sound in Toronto can advise on suitable pairings for a complete analog and digital headphone system built around MoFi Electronics components.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mobile Fidelity","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":35596285771944,"sku":"MOFI-UP","price":699.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0116\/1773\/0617\/products\/MOBILEFIDELITYULTRAPHONOPHONOSTAGESFRONTVINYLSOUND.jpg?v=1706800653"},{"product_id":"mobile-fidelity-studiophono-phonostages","title":"Mobile Fidelity Studiophono Phono Stage","description":"\u003ch1\u003eMobile Fidelity Electronics StudioPhono Phono Stage at Vinyl Sound Toronto Canada\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe StudioPhono is a high-performance phono preamplifier from Mobile Fidelity Electronics (MoFi Electronics, USA), available at Vinyl Sound in Toronto, Canada. Like its sibling the UltraPhono, its internal circuitry was developed with the assistance of Tim de Paravicini — the legendary British electronics engineer behind Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab's Gain2 Ultra Analog cutting system, the mastering chain used to produce MoFi's Original Master Recording and UltraDisc One-Step vinyl pressings.

THD measures below 0.01% in MM mode and below 0.012% in MC mode, reflecting a phono stage engineered to resolve the full content of the groove without editorial coloration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTim de Paravicini Circuit Design and Mastering-Grade Transparency\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe StudioPhono shares its core design philosophy with the UltraPhono: both were developed with circuit input from Tim de Paravicini, whose work on the MoFi Gain2 Ultra Analog cutting lathe established the signal standard against which MoFi's most celebrated vinyl pressings were created. The goal in both cases is to replicate at the playback stage the wide-bandwidth, low-noise transparency that MoFi mastering engineers require when cutting lacquers from original master tapes — a standard that demands accurate RIAA equalization, minimal gain stage coloration, and the ability to resolve low-level musical detail without obscuring it in noise or harmonic distortion. The StudioPhono delivers THD below 0.01% in moving-magnet mode and below 0.012% in moving-coil mode, figures that confirm the amplification stages introduce negligible harmonic distortion across the full gain range. Four selectable gain settings — 40 dB, 46 dB, 60 dB, and 66 dB — accommodate the output range of virtually every MM and MC cartridge in current production, from standard high-output moving-magnet designs at 4mV to 6mV through to ultra-low-output moving-coil cartridges at 0.2mV and below.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eAdjustable Loading, Mono Mode, Subsonic Filter, and External Power Supply\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMoving-coil cartridge loading is adjustable across six discrete settings — 75, 100, 500, 1,000, 10,000, and 47,000 ohms — allowing the StudioPhono to be tuned to the optimal termination impedance for any MC cartridge. Load impedance directly affects the frequency response, channel balance, and dynamic character of a moving-coil cartridge's output, and having six options ensures the StudioPhono can be matched precisely to cartridges across the full range of MC designs from low-impedance moving-coil to high-impedance designs that prefer a near-MM loading. Moving-magnet cartridges operate at the fixed industry-standard 47,000-ohm load with 100pF input capacitance. A switchable subsonic filter attenuates warp noise and turntable bearing rumble below the audio band, preventing woofer over-excursion and intermodulation distortion that infrasonic energy causes in the downstream amplifier and loudspeakers. Mono mode sums the left and right channels electrically, enabling accurate playback of mono LPs without the channel-difference noise and lateral groove noise that stereo playback of a mono record introduces. The external power supply separates mains conversion from the phono amplifier circuit, eliminating the primary source of noise ingress in sensitive low-level phono stage design and delivering a clean, regulated DC feed to the gain stages.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTim de Paravicini Circuit

Against the Pro-Ject Phono Box DS3 B, which offers MM and MC support with adjustable loading and a built-in rechargeable battery power supply, the StudioPhono counters with Tim de Paravicini's direct circuit involvement, a mono mode switch absent from the DS3 B, and the direct lineage to MoFi's mastering chain that no Pro-Ject product can claim. Against the iFi Audio ZEN Phono, a compact MM and MC stage with three gain settings and switchable loading, the StudioPhono offers a fourth gain setting for finer cartridge matching, six MC loading options versus the ZEN Phono's fewer choices, an external rather than internal power supply for lower noise, and mono mode for accurate playback of vintage mono LPs. Neither competitor can trace its circuit topology to the engineer who designed the mastering system used to cut the records the stage is intended to play.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow do I select the correct gain setting on the StudioPhono?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe correct gain setting on the StudioPhono depends on the output voltage of the cartridge and the input sensitivity of the connected amplifier. Moving-magnet cartridges outputting 3mV to 6mV and high-output MC cartridges outputting 1.5mV to 2.5mV are best served by the 40 dB or 46 dB settings, which bring the phono signal to a standard line level without over-driving the downstream component. Low-output MC cartridges outputting 0.4mV to 1mV typically suit the 60 dB setting, while ultra-low-output MC cartridges below 0.3mV require the 66 dB setting. MoFi Electronics provides a cartridge loading guide that cross-references gain and loading settings against specific cartridge models, and Vinyl Sound in Toronto can assist with gain configuration for any cartridge and system combination.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat does the mono mode switch do on the StudioPhono?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe mono mode switch on the StudioPhono electrically sums the left and right input channels into a single mono signal before amplification, which is the correct way to play mono LP records pressed before approximately 1968. Mono records were cut with a purely lateral groove modulation and contain identical information in both channels, so playing them in stereo causes channel-difference noise — any slight difference between the two cartridge channels — to become audible as added noise and coloration. Summing the channels mono eliminates this channel-difference noise and also cancels vertical groove noise and stylus irregularities that are common-mode between channels, producing a quieter, cleaner playback of mono records than stereo mode can achieve.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhen should I use the subsonic filter on the StudioPhono?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe subsonic filter on the StudioPhono should be engaged when playing warped records, when the turntable is subject to floor-borne vibration, or when visible woofer pumping is observed during playback. Warp frequencies and turntable bearing rumble typically occupy the 2 Hz to 15 Hz range — well below the audible threshold — but cause woofers to move through large excursions that consume amplifier headroom and generate intermodulation distortion products that fall within the audible band and mask fine musical detail. The filter attenuates this infrasonic content before it reaches the amplifier and loudspeakers. For flat, well-pressed records on a well-isolated turntable such as the MoFi MasterDeck or UltraDeck, the filter can be switched out to preserve the widest possible low-frequency bandwidth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere can I buy the MoFi Electronics StudioPhono in Toronto or Canada?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe MoFi Electronics StudioPhono phono stage is available at Vinyl Sound, an authorized Mobile Fidelity Electronics dealer in Toronto, Canada. Vinyl Sound carries the complete MoFi Electronics analog electronics lineup — including the StudioPhono, UltraPhono, MasterPhono, and the full turntable range — and can assist customers across Toronto and Canada with cartridge matching, gain and loading configuration, and complete analog system integration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIs the StudioPhono suitable for playing MoFi UltraDisc One-Step records?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, the StudioPhono is an ideal partner for MoFi UltraDisc One-Step pressings. Its Tim de Paravicini circuit heritage and wide-bandwidth design philosophy are rooted in the same mastering standard used to cut UltraDisc One-Step lacquers, meaning the StudioPhono is voiced to preserve exactly the resolution and tonal character that MoFi's mastering engineers encoded into those pressings. Combined with a MoFi turntable — the UltraDeck or MasterDeck — and a compatible moving-magnet or moving-coil cartridge, the StudioPhono forms a coherent source-to-output chain aligned with Mobile Fidelity's studio heritage from the original master tape to the listening room.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mobile Fidelity","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":35596447678632,"sku":"MOFI-SP","price":499.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0116\/1773\/0617\/products\/MOBILEFIDELITYSTUDIOPHONOPHONOSTAGESFRONTVINYLSOUND.jpg?v=1706800716"},{"product_id":"leben-rs-30eq-phono-preamplifier","title":"Leben RS-30EQ Phono Preamplifier","description":"\u003ch2\u003eLeben RS-30EQ Phono Preamplifier\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Leben RS-30EQ Phono Preamplifier is a masterpiece of Japanese analog engineering designed for audiophiles who demand the purest vinyl playback experience.

Its RIAA response extends to at least 60 kHz — well beyond audibility — because high-frequency content above 20 kHz left uncorrected re-enters the audible band as ringing and overshoot, blurring transient clarity. At 0.01% THD, distortion is effectively inaudible. The noise floor exceeds 80 dB A-weighted in MM mode.

It has three inputs, and each can be individually set for either MM\/ MC and loading. Each input also then remembers its own settings.

These can be “passive” components, like resistors, capacitors and inductors, as well as “active” components, which in our case are transistors. The opposite to this would be an integrated circuit, which uses operational amplifiers (Op-Amps) in the signal chain. In our industry we employ specialised Op-Amps built for audio applications, which allow us to produce very small and efficient electronics, as well as saving the time of design engineers. However, countless hours of listening tests and years of experience have shown us that even the very best Op-Amps do not tend to be so neutral, natural, dynamic or vivid – all of which are characteristics of the Musical Fidelity “sound”. For that reason, we’re rediscovering our passion for traditional, discrete designs. Where standard phono pre-amplifiers with integrated circuits have a few tens or hundreds of components, discrete designs will employ hundreds or thousands of components by comparison. That makes for an extended design process, but in our opinion results in the best sound for your money. The unit features three separate, independently selectable cartridge inputs. This allows choice between three different turntables, or multiple tone arm configurations if required. Selectable gain is provided to allow for different cartridge sensitivities and ton suit any equipment. Cartridge type and loading is selected by front selector buttons for optimum cartridge performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMaking Way For Pure Music\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe true point of any electronic, actually any audio component, is that you don‘t know it is there.

Lukascheck Ppi-Phonostage\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"left\"\u003eThe small size of the PP-1 allows close placement to the turntable, minimizing signal leads from the tonearm. The whole power supply is inboard the PP-1 chassis except for an external power transformer, which is outboard to eliminate magnetic field interaction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"left\"\u003eThe miniature size of the PP-1 also allows all circuit components to be very close to one another. This significantly reduces circuit board traces, which could introduce noise and sonic degradation. The PP-1 is optimized for moving coil amplification, thus does not provide switches and or jumpers for gain setting or resistive loading. This elimination of unneeded circuit junction points preserves the low noise\/high performance characteristics of this superb phono preamp.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"left\"\u003eBy using only 2 transistors in each amplifier stage, perfect stability and extreme fast transient response is achieved. This provides the high degree of transparency and accuracy of the PP-1. High quality double-sided glass epoxy circuit boards with carefully designed topology (CAD) have been applied in order to ensure shortest possible signal paths. Low noise matched bipolar transistors were selected for this purpose. All resistors are high quality metal film with 1% tolerance. Within the RIAA network, only 1% polystyrene capacitors have been used, with high quality metalized plastic-film capacitors in the coupling function.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"left\"\u003eEach channel of the input amplifier stage works around a phase non-inverting 2-stage negative feedback amplifier. Available gain is set at 40dB and the upper frequency limit has been set at 650kHz\/-3dB. Input impedance has been set at 22k Ohm in order to eliminate interconnect cable and phono connector influence on the sound quality. A 10Hz sub-sonic filter has been incorporated between the input stage and the RIAA equalizer. As with the input amplifier, RIAA equalization has been achieved through an inverting 2-stage amplifier of ultra high accuracy (+0\/-.5dB within the RIAA standard). Available gain is 22dB\/1kHz and it has an extended high frequency roll-off. This section of the PP-1 connects directly to the output of the unit. Total gain of the PP-1 is 62dB, ideal for cartridges with output as low as .2mV. In his latest revision of the PP-1, Albert Lukaschek has redesigned the regulation circuitry of the unit's power supply, bringing across-the-board improvements in the areas of clarity, focus, and bass control. Integrated circuits are now employed only in the pre-regulator, which provides a constant 25 volts to the independent regulators for each gain stage, which are now implemented with fully discrete transistor regulators.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"left\"\u003eThe improved speed and impedance characteristics of these transistor regulators, which are now direct-coupled, bring across-the-board improvements in the areas of clarity, resolution, and focus as well as low frequency control, articulation and heft. The new active-load, constant-voltage-source regulator allows the first gain stage to function to its fullest potential. This linear amplifier stage can now utilize a full 100X gain factor, an increase in open-loop gain over previous versions, which allows not only for improved signal-to-noise performance (vital for high-gain phono stages), but also provides better coupling to the RIAA filter and output stage. This stage is also individually regulated with discrete transistors in a constant-load configuration. Lukaschek finds this new regulator, in conjunction with his polarity inverting RIAA filter, yields reduced distortion and a more exact implementation of the RIAA equalization curves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"left\"\u003eThe increased resolution afforded by these improvements exposed previously inaudible artifacts due to circuit board layout. Lukaschek then spent a number of months optimizing component placement and circuit-board trace layout, before the final revision was complete. The net sonic result is a PP-1 of far greater refinement than any before. Tonal balance is slightly warmer than the previous versions, yet with far more resolution and extension. Bass is bigger and more solid; highs are effortless, open, transparent and totally devoid of smearing. Focus, soundstage depth and dimensionality, particularly on the edges of the soundstage, are much improved.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"center\"\u003eWinner of the Absolute Sound's Golden Ear Award 2000 for Best Component.

Getting higher resolution from a phono stage and vinyl is much like getting higher resolution from an MRI scanner used in the medical field.  The reason why today’s MRI scanners are so much better than their early cousins is because of more processing power\/ more electronics.  A modern MRI machine has hundreds of times the processing power of its distant cousin.  The same goes for our phono stages.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe outgoing and multi-award winning 30 Series was a class leader in its price range for the whole time it was in production and still outperforms the latest products the competition have to offer!  It had amazing noise figures, class leading soundstage and musicality and it did this all in one neat package.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 40 Series adds several layers of extra dimensional ‘space’ with greater instrument-harmonic resolution, ‘life like’ musicality and a ‘microscopic type’ of focus that the 30 Series electronics was incapable of.   The only way we found we could achieve this was to borrow much of the technology and ideas from the TITAN Pro which was designed to be the very best single box phono stage in the world, which it has accomplished, so we felt ‘why not just scale it down’ and use the essential parts to bring the TITAN Pro’s high-resolution sound to a market place that REALLY needs it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe new 40 Series pushes the boundaries of what is capable at this price level.  No other phono stage in the world at this price range has the abilities of the 40

now trimmed to a far tighter tolerance for both curve and channel matching.  Channel matching now is to within 0.12dB and RIAA curve accuracy to 0.15dB.  Both these figures are across a bandwidth with spans from 9Hz and 62KHz.  Any non-Whest Audio phono stage would be at least 4-6dB down at these extremes, but having experience in pro-audio, vinyl cutting and mastering means we at Whest Audio know

Connectivity is straight forward. You have an input and an output. Neither of them can be overloaded at the input or limited in the output driving capacity. It can be set for either MM or MC and exact loading. It offers state-of-the art technical and sonic performance just like the M6x ViNYL, but at a cheaper entry level to the epitome of the true spirit of high-end audio.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDesign Philosophy\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe M3x ViNYL has been switched, just like in its bigger brother the M6x ViNYL, to an entirely discrete circuitry, which results in better technical measurements and better sound. It is equipped with one single-ended input and output. But the important question is: what is so special about discrete circuits?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlthough it is Musical Fidelity’s lowest price amplifier, it embodies our hallmark values of uncoloured, stress-free sound, outstanding technical performance and great value for money.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Advantage of Discrete Circuits\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA discrete circuit is composed of electronic components which are disparate, individual devices, also called discrete components. These can be “passive” components, like resistors, capacitors and inductors, as well as “active” components, which in our case are transistors. The opposite to this would be an integrated circuit, which uses operational amplifiers (Op-Amps) in the signal chain. In our industry we employ specialised Op-Amps built for audio applications, which allow us to produce very small and efficient electronics, as well as saving the time of design engineers. However, countless hours of listening tests and years of experience have shown us that even the very best Op-Amps do not tend to be so neutral, natural, dynamic or vivid – all of which are characteristics of the Musical Fidelity “sound”. For that reason, we’re rediscovering our passion for traditional, discrete designs. Where standard phono pre-amplifiers with integrated circuits have a few tens or hundreds of components, discrete designs will employ hundreds or thousands of components by comparison. That makes for an extended design process, but in our opinion results in the best sound for your money.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eToroidal Power Transformer\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe special audio transformer with low core saturation decreases the level of electromagnetic radiation, which is essential because otherwise any phono amplifier will never be able to work correctly. Together with the distance between transformer and amplification section and the electromagnetic shielding, we are creating an incredibly high signal to noise ratio. If we are working with the few hundreds of microvolts from a phono cartridge, everything is playing its role; every decibel of signal to noise ratio is crucially important. For the first time, we have implemented our new proprietary power supply solution that has zero standby power consumption. Absolutely zero! It is a super green product and we are sure, there isn’t any other product in existence with an ecological standby function like this.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSplit Passive EQ\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMany other phono stages are using a single equalization network in a global feedback loop. By means of an EQ network, the amplified signal from the output of the phono preamp is brought back to the input of the phono preamp. This is the before mentioned feedback loop, and the results, as you can imagine, are not in accordance with the high standards in Musical Fidelity design philosophy. The M3x ViNYL uses split passive equalization in separate amplification stages without global negative feedback loops for its RIAA curve. This is more costly to design and implement but ensures the most accurate representation of the ideal EQ curve.

Input capacitance is independently adjustable from 100 pF to 600 pF in 50 pF steps, allowing precise optimization of MM cartridge high-frequency response for cartridges with varying internal inductance.

Signal-to-noise ratio exceeds 99 dBA at lower gain settings and remains above 76 dBA at maximum gain relative to 2 V rms output — figures that reflect a low-noise circuit design capable of handling the most demanding MC cartridges without audible hiss at normal listening levels. Frequency response is flat from 10 Hz to 20 kHz within plus or minus 0.2 dB, distortion is below 0.005%, and crosstalk attenuation exceeds 103 dB relative to 2 V rms output — ensuring complete channel independence across the full audio bandwidth. Maximum output is 10 V rms at 35 mA rms into a 50-ohm output impedance, providing sufficient drive for any downstream integrated amplifier or preamplifier input.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAdjustable Input Impedance:\u003c\/strong\u003e 50 to 680 ohms in 10-ohm steps for moving coil cartridges, plus 47 kohm for moving magnet — covering the full loading range of virtually every MC and MM cartridge available.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAdjustable Input Capacitance:\u003c\/strong\u003e 100 to 600 pF in 50 pF steps for precise MM cartridge high-frequency optimization based on cartridge inductance and cable capacitance.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWide Gain Range:\u003c\/strong\u003e +32 dB to +64 dB in 4 dB steps accommodates moving magnet and the lowest output moving coil cartridges within a single unit.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e99 dBA Signal-to-Noise Ratio:\u003c\/strong\u003e Exceptional noise performance at standard gain settings, remaining above 76 dBA at maximum gain relative to 2 V rms output.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e103 dB Crosstalk Attenuation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Complete channel isolation across the full audio bandwidth for precise stereo imaging and channel separation.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBelow 0.005% Distortion:\u003c\/strong\u003e Low distortion circuit design preserving the tonal accuracy of the cartridge output through the RIAA equalization stage.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlat Frequency Response:\u003c\/strong\u003e 10 Hz to 20 kHz within plus or minus 0.2 dB for accurate RIAA equalization across the full audio bandwidth.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e10 V rms Maximum Output:\u003c\/strong\u003e High output headroom at 35 mA rms into 50-ohm output impedance for compatibility with any downstream amplifier input stage.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCompact Form Factor:\u003c\/strong\u003e 140 x 70 x 178 mm chassis weighing 1 kg, sized for use alongside Acoustic Solid turntables on any equipment rack.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n  \u003ctbody\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFrequency Response\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e10 Hz to 20 kHz (+\/- 0.2 dB)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDistortion\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLess than 0.005%\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSignal-to-Noise Ratio\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e99 dBA (standard gain) to 76 dBA (maximum gain), relative to 2 V rms\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCrosstalk Attenuation\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMore than 103 dB relative to 2 V rms\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eInput Impedance\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e50 to 680 ohm in 10-ohm steps; 47 kohm (MM)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eInput Capacitance\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e100 to 600 pF in 50 pF steps\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAmplification\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e+32 dB to +64 dB at 1 kHz in 4 dB steps\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaximum Output Level\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e10 V rms\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaximum Output Current\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e35 mA rms\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOutput Impedance\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e50 ohm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDimensions (W x H x D)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e140 x 70 x 178 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1 kg\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is the Acoustic Solid Phono Pre-Amplifier?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Acoustic Solid Phono Pre-Amplifier is a fully adjustable phono stage from Acoustic Solid of Germany, offering input impedance from 50 to 680 ohms in 10-ohm steps plus 47 kohm, input capacitance from 100 to 600 pF in 50 pF steps, and gain from +32 dB to +64 dB in 4 dB steps. It achieves a signal-to-noise ratio of 99 dBA, distortion below 0.005%, and crosstalk attenuation above 103 dB, in a compact 140 x 70 x 178 mm chassis.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the Acoustic Solid Phono Pre-Amplifier compare to the Pro-Ject Phono Box DS3 B or Lehmann Audio Black Cube SE II?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Acoustic Solid Phono Pre-Amplifier competes directly with the Pro-Ject Phono Box DS3 B and Lehmann Audio Black Cube SE II in the configurable MC and MM phono stage category. The Pro-Ject DS3 B offers switchable loading and gain via DIP switches, while the Lehmann Black Cube SE II provides a selection of fixed loading options via plug-in resistors. The Acoustic Solid unit differentiates itself with its exceptionally fine 10-ohm impedance adjustment steps — versus the coarser fixed options of its competitors — and its 4 dB gain increments across a 32-step range from +32 to +64 dB, allowing a level of optimization not available in either competing design at this tier.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan the Acoustic Solid Phono Pre-Amplifier be used with both moving magnet and moving coil cartridges?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. The Acoustic Solid Phono Pre-Amplifier handles both moving magnet and moving coil cartridges within a single unit. The 47 kohm input impedance setting covers all moving magnet cartridges, while the 50 to 680 ohm range in 10-ohm steps accommodates virtually every low and high output moving coil cartridge. The gain range of +32 to +64 dB ensures sufficient amplification for MC cartridges producing as little as 0.2 mV output without compromising signal-to-noise performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is the significance of 10-ohm impedance adjustment steps?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMost phono stages offer a small number of fixed impedance loading options — typically four to six preset values such as 100, 200, 470, and 1000 ohms. The Acoustic Solid Phono Pre-Amplifier's 10-ohm step adjustment allows the user to dial in the precise loading value recommended by the cartridge manufacturer, or to fine-tune loading by ear to optimize high-frequency extension, tonal balance, and channel separation for a specific cartridge in a specific system. This granularity is a significant practical advantage when working with demanding low-output MC cartridges that are sensitive to loading conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes the Acoustic Solid Phono Pre-Amplifier pair well with Acoustic Solid turntables?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. The Acoustic Solid Phono Pre-Amplifier is engineered as a natural system partner for Acoustic Solid turntables fitted with WTB-series tonearms and a wide range of MC and MM cartridges. Its adjustable loading and gain cover every cartridge combination available for Acoustic Solid's WTB 213, WTB 230, WTB 313, and WTB 370 tonearms, and its 50-ohm output impedance is compatible with any downstream integrated amplifier or preamplifier input.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere can I buy the Acoustic Solid Phono Pre-Amplifier in Toronto or Canada?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Acoustic Solid Phono Pre-Amplifier is available in Toronto, Canada at Vinyl Sound, an authorized Acoustic Solid dealer.

The input sensitivity can be changed by 6 dB via the back panel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"xxxlarge-6 cell module-2-content\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"heading-5 uppercase\"\u003eTECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdl class=\"dl-ruled dl-ruled--specs\"\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003eMaximum Output Level\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e11 V RMS\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003eRated Output Level\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e200 mV\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003eOutput Resistance\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e100 Ω\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003eMinimum Output Resistance for a -3 dB @ 15Hz\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1 k\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003ePower Consumption\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e10 W\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003eAmbient Operating Temperature\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e5 to 35 °C\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003eDimensions (W × H × D)\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e218 x 78 x 315 mm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003eWeight\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e3.1Kg\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003c\/dl\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"dl-footnote\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"heading-5 uppercase\"\u003eLOAD SETTINGS FOR ADJUSTABLE MC STAGES\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdl class=\"dl-ruled dl-ruled--specs\"\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003eRega MC Load Resistance L \u0026amp; R\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003e100 Ω\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003eRega MC Loading Capacitance L \u0026amp; R\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003e1000 pF\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003eRega MC Gain L \u0026amp; R\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003e69.3 dB 9 (High setting for Rega MC models)\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003c\/dl\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLearn more about this product in our detailed video review:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"800\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/DG3VppEjvwA\"\u003e\n\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"xxxlarge-6 cell module-2-content\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Rega","offers":[{"title":"Black","offer_id":43045317345532,"sku":null,"price":2299.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0116\/1773\/0617\/files\/Rega_Aria_Mk.3_Phono_Stage.png?v=1775007872"},{"product_id":"rega-aura-mc-phono-stage","title":"Rega Aura MC Phono Stage","description":"\u003ch2\u003e\u003cspan\u003eRega Aura MC Phono Stage\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe reference Aura MC stage is the culmination of decades of electronic design development.

The 12DW7 tube is half a 12AX7 and half a 12AU7. We use the 12AU7 half to drive the output transformers because it is high current and low noise, thus allowing for the most frequently requested feature, a true floating ground balanced output.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cb\u003eIt’s Quiet, Really!\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe extensive grounding scheme, the circuit design and steel enclosure all play a significant role in the noise reduction of the phonostage, so you can hear the quietest passages in your music.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cb\u003eCircuit Topology\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe heart of the design is the new main circuit incorporating the same large beefy MC step-up transformers as the Tèssera, as well as an entirely new output circuit to drive the balanced output transformers.

I also wanted it simple to use, so every adjustment is remote or manually controlled.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA unique feature I added is the Presence Control, which was born out of my frustration after finding some of my favorite recordings became unlistenable the more resolved my system became, regardless of the source. This new feature deals with the harmonic balance of the mid and high frequencies. Now I can easily adjust the balance for every song.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI have been enjoying this in my own listening and am certain you will too.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eFocus on the Music\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith the Leto in your system it will allow the sonic detail to come through, so you focus is on the music and the hardware will seem to disappear.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWhat is Leto?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn Greek mythology, Leto is the mother of Apollo.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTop 7 New Features of the Leto Ultra Preamplifier\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1. New upgraded circuit topology delivers more musical detail with a tighter bass. It has a robust input design to handle higher output sources. Dynamic range is expanded by new circuitry that produces a higher output before distortion. Still 100% Analog tube circuitry throughout the signal path.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e2. New tube configuration with the 12DW7 allows for the smoothest transition from the input section to outputs, providing the cleanest and most musical path for your signal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e3. New 3 gain positions 3dB, 6dB and 9db make the Leto Ultra one of the most versatile preamps available. It easily accommodates the many volume\u003cbr\u003edifferences from all your sources such as a high output DAC, as well as a low output phono. Your preferred gain settings are saved on each input and can be conveniently adjusted “on the fly” with the Remote or Manual control.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e4.

balanced design in a neat, small package. We’ve packed this tiny chassis to the brim with high-end features. One of those is our new True Balanced Connection. At Pro-Ject, balanced connections were exclusive to our RS range of products until now. The Phono Box S3 B brings those features to an incredible new entry level.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTrue High-End For the New Entry-Level\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur Phono Box S3 B comes in complete new casework. The bigger size enabled us to bring a completely new feature set that was never seen before in this price range. The new steel \u0026amp; aluminium case also offers very high rigidity and isolation against outside interferences, which is essential for the new technology inside. Connect up to two turntables simultaneously – all parameters for each input get stored in the memory. You can perfectly match the Phono Box S3 B to a wide variety of cartridges. Use the gain setting to accurately match the output to other sources like CD players or streaming devices. Ultra-low values like 50 pF or 10 ohms allow you to account for all situations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eBalanced By Nature\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCartridges are balanced signal transducers by nature! Due to the internal wiring of MM cartridges, you'll need to upgrade your turntable with an MC cartridge to access the entirety of that balanced signal. Together with our new True Balanced Connection cables you'll be able to access high-end features that were previously only available on the most expensive of phono stages. And the best of all: any Pro-Ject turntable with RCA, miniXLR or 5P outputs can do it!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"uppercase font-bold mb-4 text-xl\"\u003eFULLY DISCRETE AND SYMMETRICAL GAIN STAGE\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"font-medium\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe new Phono Box S3 B gain stage uses a fully discrete layout. A discrete circuit is composed of disparate electronic components, and individual devices. The amplifier section is built of single parts and doesn‘t use any integrated circuits! That makes for an extended and more costly design process but results in the best sound quality. The fully symmetrical gain stage can optimize the signal-to-noise ratios, feeding the semi-passive, RIAA equalisation stage with a clean signal to work on.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"uppercase font-bold mb-4 text-xl\"\u003eTRUE BALANCED CONNECTION\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"font-medium\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe symmetrical design is the fundamental standout feature! Connect your turntable via the 5-pin mini XLR cable and enjoy the benefits of a balanced signal path. A truly balanced gain stage can extract the final musical information, effectively filtering out any noise from interferences stemming from our noisy, modern homes (household appliances, wifi \u0026amp; Bluetooth, power cables, audio amplifiers).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"flex flex-col _md:w-1\/2 _lg:w-1\/3 max-w-sm\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"text-xl lg:text-4xl\"\u003eHigh-End Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch4 class=\"text-base font-normal my-3\"\u003eFor the Entry-Level\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-medium lg:leading-tight\"\u003eSteel \u0026amp; aluminium casework.

These can be “passive” components, like resistors, capacitors and inductors, as well as “active” components, which in our case are transistors. The opposite to this would be an integrated circuit, which uses operational amplifiers (Op-Amps) in the signal chain. Countless hours of listening tests and years of experience have shown us that even the very best Op-Amps do not tend to be so neutral, natural, dynamic or vivid. Standard phono pre-amplifiers with integrated circuits have a few tens or hundreds of components, but discrete designs will employ hundreds or thousands of components by comparison. That makes for an extended and more costly design process, but results in the best sound for your money.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFully Balanced\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Phono Box RS2 employs a true fully balanced design principle. Balanced transmissions consist of a hot and a cold (also called + and -) signal. Both the + and – signal chains effectively carry the same musical information. A true balanced amplifier can now extract the final musical information out the +\/- signals and subtract, remove, all noise that could potentially be added along the transmission. In a true, fully balanced amplifier, like the Phono Box RS2, the + and – sections of both the left and right channel are treated individually, which doubles the amplifier sections by 2 as a result.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSplit passive EQ\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Phono Box RS2 uses split passive equalization for both of its RIAA and DECA curves. This is more costly to design and implement but ensures the most accurate representation of the ideal EQ curve. Split passive equalization allows for better impedance matching and lower deviation from the ideal RIAA or DECA curve.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eExtreme cartridge loading options\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo other phono-preamp in the world has such fine options of setting the gain like the Phono Box RS2.

Obviously, such a transformer becomes larger than one would expect. Also, much more expensive. That is why such a power supply requires a cabinet the size of the Phono Box RS2 itself.

The microprocessor controls gain selection, impedance switching, and cartridge type selection via the front-panel polychromatic spheres, and includes a convenient memory function that retains the last-used settings across power cycles, eliminating the need to reconfigure settings on each use. Gain is adjustable across eight steps for both Moving Magnet cartridges (21dB to 42dB) and Moving Coil cartridges (49dB to 68dB), providing the flexibility to match turntables and cartridges of widely varying output voltages to the connected preamplifier or integrated amplifier without output level mismatches. For Moving Coil cartridges, input impedance is user-selectable across twelve steps from 100 ohms to 3,700 ohms, covering the full range of MC cartridge impedance requirements from low-output high-impedance types to high-output low-impedance designs. Moving Magnet input impedance is fixed at the industry-standard 47,000 ohms. Input noise is specified at 1.1nV per root Hz, and RIAA equalisation accuracy is plus or minus 0.1dB across the full response curve from 12Hz to 25kHz.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eQutest Range Integration and Polychromatic Control Interface\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Huei shares the same compact chassis dimensions as the Chord Qutest DAC and Chord Anni desktop integrated amplifier, enabling the three units to be stacked in Chord's QSS (Qutest Stand System) modular aluminium rack to form a complete analogue and digital desktop system. The chassis is precision-machined from solid aircraft-grade aluminium billet and features Chord Electronics' signature top-mounted transparent viewing window, through which the illuminated internal electronics are visible. Front-panel polychromatic control spheres provide direct access to gain settings, impedance selection, MM\/MC cartridge type switching, and the onboard rumble filter, with colour-coded illumination providing immediate visual feedback of each parameter's current state. A switchable rumble filter operating at -24dB per octave below 50Hz (Rausch Slope) attenuates low-frequency mechanical noise from the turntable without affecting programme material above the cutoff frequency. Both balanced XLR and unbalanced RCA outputs are provided with a 520-ohm resistive output impedance and a maximum output voltage of 20V RMS, ensuring compatibility with preamplifiers, integrated amplifiers, and DAC\/preamplifier combinations across a wide range of input sensitivities. A high-quality 12V external power supply is included and accepts mains voltages from 100 to 240V at 50 to 60Hz for compatibility with North American, European, and international mains standards.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMM\/MC Compatibility:\u003c\/strong\u003e Accepts both Moving Magnet and Moving Coil cartridges through a single RCA input pair, with dedicated gain ranges and impedance settings optimised for each cartridge type.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUltra-Low-Noise Microprocessor Control:\u003c\/strong\u003e The first Chord Electronics phono preamplifier to use microprocessor control of its main features, eliminating mechanical switching noise and adding a convenient memory function that retains settings across power cycles.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEight-Stage Switchable Gain (MM and MC):\u003c\/strong\u003e Moving Magnet gain adjustable from 21dB to 42dB;

It features ultra-low-noise microprocessor control of eight-stage switchable gain (21dB to 42dB for MM; 49dB to 68dB for MC), twelve-step user-selectable MC input impedance from 100 to 3,700 ohms, a switchable -24dB\/octave rumble filter, and both balanced XLR and unbalanced RCA outputs. It shares chassis dimensions with the Chord Qutest DAC and Anni desktop amplifier for integration within the Chord Qutest desktop system, and won the hi-fi+ Editor's Choice Award 2020 and hi-fi+ Best Entry Level Phono Stage 2023.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the Chord Huei compare to the Pro-Ject Phono Box RS2 or iFi Zen Phono 3?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Chord Huei occupies a higher performance and price tier than the iFi Zen Phono 3 and competes more directly with the Pro-Ject Phono Box RS2. Against the iFi Zen Phono 3, the Huei offers a significantly more comprehensive gain and impedance adjustment range (eight-stage gain versus the iFi's more limited options), ultra-low-noise microprocessor control with memory function, aircraft-grade aluminium CNC-machined construction, and balanced XLR outputs not available on the iFi unit. Compared to the Pro-Ject Phono Box RS2, the Huei's twelve-step MC impedance selection and eight-stage gain steps are comparably comprehensive, and the Huei's 1.1nV\/Hz input noise is a competitive figure at this price level. The Huei's integration within the Chord Qutest ecosystem is an additional differentiator for existing Chord system owners.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes the Chord Huei work with low-output moving coil cartridges?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, the Chord Huei is specifically designed to accommodate low-output moving coil cartridges. Its MC gain range extends to 68dB at the highest of its eight selectable steps, providing sufficient amplification for MC cartridges with outputs as low as 0.2mV or below. The twelve-step MC impedance selection from 100 to 3,700 ohms allows the input stage to be precisely matched to the output impedance of virtually any MC cartridge currently available, including designs from Ortofon, Lyra, Koetsu, Dynavector, and Audio-Technica. The 1.1nV\/Hz input noise specification ensures that the cartridge signal is amplified cleanly even at maximum gain settings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is the rumble filter in the Chord Huei?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Huei's switchable rumble filter is a Rausch Slope design with a -24dB per octave attenuation rate below 50Hz. This filter attenuates low-frequency mechanical noise generated by turntable motor vibration, platter bearing rumble, and acoustic feedback, all of which can pass through the cartridge as spurious low-frequency energy below the musical programme. At -24dB per octave the filter cuts steeply enough to effectively remove subsonic noise while leaving musical bass content at and above 50Hz entirely unaffected. The filter is switchable from the front-panel control spheres and can be bypassed for cartridges and turntables that produce minimal rumble.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan the Chord Huei be used with non-Chord preamplifiers and integrated amplifiers?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, the Chord Huei is compatible with any preamplifier or integrated amplifier accepting a line-level phono output. Its unbalanced RCA and balanced XLR outputs, 520-ohm output impedance, and maximum output voltage of 20V RMS ensure wide compatibility with amplifiers from any manufacturer. It pairs naturally within the Chord Qutest desktop system alongside the Qutest DAC and Anni integrated amplifier, but works equally well as the phono stage in a system built around the Chord ULTIMA Pre 3, ULTIMA Integrated, or a third-party preamplifier from Naim, Bryston, Cambridge Audio, Rega, or others.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere can I buy the Chord Electronics Huei in Toronto or Canada?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Chord Electronics Huei MM\/MC phono stage is available at Vinyl Sound, an authorised Chord Electronics dealer located in Toronto, Canada.
