Asterion V2 Premium Line

Tube Phono Preamplifier

  • an all-tube turntable preamplifier for both MM and MC phono cartridges
  • nine tubes, one vacuum tube out of them used to rectify anode voltage
  • wiring circuitry without any global feedback
  • PCB’s utilize our premium CMT ™ technology
  • precise selection and matching of the tubes that have above-average parameters
  • vacuum-impregnated transformer core
  • transformer potted in a special anti-vibration compound and placed in the massive welded cover
  • the exceptional high-quality polypropylene capacitors in the signal path were used
  • if a turntable is fitted with two tonearms, one having an MM phono cartridge installed and the other MC, both can be connected simultaneously without mutually affecting each other
  • high variability of gain settings, resistances and capacitances settings for all types of phono cartridges
  • a high-quality step-up Lundahl transformer for MC phono cartridges
  • SRP: 7.199,- €
