Clearaudio’s ever-popular duo of mid-priced phono stages offer a raft of covetable options for the high-end audio beginner or upgrader – and both have now been treated to their own upgrade.
Clearaudio‘s new Balance V2 combines three key devices in one, so there are options here for every type of vinyl spinner. The device features a fully balanced circuit design with completely independent circuitry for left and right channels, including a volume control allowing the unit to be connected directly to a power amplifier or to an active loudspeaker system. As well as the usual RCA outputs, the Balance V2 features balanced XLR outputs and a 6.3mm plug headphone output. A simple switch allows you to choose between moving magnet and moving coil mode. From there, the Balance V2 will automatically harmonize with almost any high-end phono cartridge without you needing to make any further adjustments. High precision RIAA equalization achieves an accuracy of within 0.1dB, while an optional subsonic filter attenuates any unwanted low frequency noise. A separate power supply in its own sleek, resonance-shielding aluminum casing keeps any potential interference at bay.
There’s nothing “basic” about the Basic V2 phono stage. Its predecessor, the Basic Plus, was a multi-award winner and with the V2, Clearaudio has taken all of that “Plus” technology up a notch. On the outside, there’s just one visible control: a single power switch, while on the underside you can switch between moving coil and moving magnet mode. Like the Balance V2, the Basic V2 is compatible with almost any high end phono cartridge, without making any further adjustments or, you can choose from a range of performance enhancing settings to fine-tune its parameters to your system. An optional subsonic filter attenuates any unwanted low frequency noise, while RIAA equalization accuracy is again within 0.1dB.
