French high-end audio specialist B.AUDIO has introduced an innovative phono stage as an optional module, designed to elevate the vinyl listening experience. This new module allows seamless connection of a turntable to B.AUDIOโs Alpha One integrated amplifier or any DAC-preamp from their lineup, ensuring uncompromised sound quality.
Engineered for Excellence
Drawing on B.AUDIOโs extensive expertise in analog signal processing and insights gained from developing their reference electronics, the phono module is a testament to precision engineering. Key features include:
-
Low-Noise Input Stage: Utilizes matched transistors mounted in parallel for exceptional clarity and minimal distortion.
-
Passive RIAA Correction: Implemented in two distinct stages for accurate and transparent sound reproduction.
-
Pure Analog Processing: The signal remains entirely in the analog domain, preserving the integrity of the audio.
