The new Classic Phono is designed to exceed the expectations of the most serious vinyl audiophiles, particularly in areas such as outright musical performance, accurate cartridge matching and flexibility of use, the company says.
The Classic Phono allows up to four turntables to be permanently connected because many vinyl enthusiasts enjoy multiple turntables, arms or cartridges for different records. Each input may be adjusted between MM or MC, gain, resistance and capacitance. Settings are conveniently saved to memory for future reference. In addition, a switchable warp filter is provided to maximize amplifier performance. Stereo output level meters, working in real time, allow clear and accurate gain adjustment to optimize the headroom available from a system for each MC cartridge.
The Classic Phono enjoys a high capacity and very low noise DC power supply that enables the preamplifier to provide an extremely wide dynamic range, ensuring extended signal levels long before clipping. Attention to circuit layout and component placement ensures a very low noise floor to further expand musical dynamics, while the passive RIAA filtering uses very high performance metallized polyester capacitors for ultimate accuracy and performance, Cyrus says. The Classic Phono includes a port for the PSX-R2 power supply. Power from the PSX-R2 is routed internally to provide a more stable, low-noise power supply.
The preamplifier includes XLR balanced and RCA single ended outputs and a ground lift switch to help eliminate ground hum problems.
