Michell Apollo Phono Stage & Muse Power Supply

For discerning audiophiles, the true allure of vinyl lies in the richness and warmth of analogue sound. To fully appreciate every detail and nuance, the right equipment is essential. While a premium turntable, tonearm, and cartridge are vital, the quality of your phono stage is what ensures the integrity of the music.  Crafted in the UK and meticulously designed by the Michell Audio team, the Apollo incorporates cutting-edge technology to deliver outstanding audio performance with any turntable and cartridge. This two-box design is engineered to minimise unwanted RF noise, as such interference is the most damaging external factor to the delicate circuits of a phono stage, ensuring pristine audio reproduction. Key Features: The inbuilt power supply circuitry works in harmony with the MUSE power supply to further refine and regulate the DC power High-Quality class A preamplifiers ensure precise signal handling Passive RIAA Circuit Class A Gain Stages Customisable loading and gain settings. MUSE uses a high-quality low noise toroidal transformer, advanced capacitance multiplier technology and very high-quality voltage regulators, to reduce ripple and noise, delivering two highly filtered and regulated DC outputs. Dual Filtration: It works in harmony with APOLLO's internal power supply for superior filtering and regulation. Noise Isolation: By housing the transformer separately in MUSE, any noise generation is isolated from the amplification circuits.

Rothwell Audio Signature Two Moving Coil Phono Preamplifier

The Signature Two is an audiophile moving coil phonostage employing low-noise discrete transistor circuitry throughout - no op-amps or transformers - and offers variable gain and cartridge load impedance. The Signature Two's circuit is the culmination of over 25 years experience in the design and production of audiophile phonostages and is a four-stage design using discrete transistors operating in Class A. The first stage is a low-noise design with adjustable load impedance from 32 ohms to 1100 ohms and gain variable from 52dB to 72dB, load and gain being adjustable independently of each other. This allows a very wide range of low output moving coil cartridges to be handled with optimum performance.

Rothwell Audio Signature One Moving Coil Phono Preamplifier

The Signature One is a phono pre-amp dedicated to low output moving coil cartridges and uses transformer coupling to achieve the best possible performance. The very low signal levels produced by low output moving coil cartridges (usually less than a tenth of those produced by moving magnet cartridges) require careful handling to achieve a noise performance approaching the best theoretically possible. Transistors cannot get as close as transformer coupling can, and op-amps are even less so. Despite decades of research and development in transistor technology transformers still offer the best noise performance. This is an uncomfortable fact when the best possible performance is demanded because transformers are vastly more expensive than transistors, but it is a fact non the less.

Audio Research Reference Phono 3SE Phono Stage

Please Note: This item cannot be ordered online. If you are interested, please click on the 'Enquire' button above. When Audio Research was founded in 1970, analog vinyl playback was the de facto music source of the time. Audio Research has either incorporated or built stand-alone phono stages since the very beginning and has continuously provided phono preamplification, even during the height of digital music. The Reference Phono 3SE is the next great advancement in analog playback and represents a new benchmark. The knowledge gained in the creation of Audio Research’s award-winning Reference 160-series amplifiers has transitioned to both Reference preamplifiers. The Reference Phono 3SE continues the upgrades introduced in the Reference 6SE line-stage, including a number of new, ultra-high-quality parts judiciously incorporated into its design and ushering in a new level of sonic accuracy and musicality. Due to the extremely low-level nature of the signals involved in a phono stage, the component and wiring upgrades incorporated in the Reference Phono 3SE combine to create a startling advancement in performance. The improvements heard immediately include enhanced resolution at all levels, greater purity and focus, improved transient speed and snap, and better dynamic shading. The sum of these improvements is exceptional, further breaking down the barrier between reproduced sound and the immediacy of a live event.

Audio Research Reference Phono 10 MM/MC Phono Preamplifier

Please Note: This item cannot be ordered online. If you are interested, please click on the 'Enquire' button above. Vinyl record playback has been an integral part of Audio Research since our founding in 1970. Think back to the great phono stages built into the defining preamplifiers of their day, among them the SP3, SP6, SP8, SP10, and SP11. Even after the introduction of the compact disc in 1982, phono sections remained a revered part of our preamplifiers. The first Audio Research phono preamplifier in a separate chassis was introduced in 1992. After all this time, we are proud to finally introduce the first two-chassis phono preamplifier in our history, the Reference Phono 10. This model number was designated because it mirrors its line-stage counterpart, the Reference 10, providing an unsurpassed level of performance in its category. The front panel has a 7” diagonal touch screen mounted asymmetrically, and only two buttons for power and mute. The interactive touch screen allows the user to change inputs (and input names), equalization, loading, gain, muting, foreground and background colors of the display, display intensity, and tube hours. Control functions are duplicated on the supplied metal remote. The front and side panels are 3/8” brushed and anodized aluminum, and the tops of both units are acrylic with a laser-cut perforation pattern (chosen for its sonic benefits).
