The Kora Phonostage captures the essence of sound with unparalleled accuracy. Its construction ensures that the acoustic truth of your music is preserved without compromise.
The Kora Phonostage is engineered to provide a precise audio experience by utilizing high-precision metal foil resistors in its input stage, which greatly minimize thermal noise and enhance signal integrity. The use of polystyrene capacitors ensures minimal signal distortion, offering superior transient response and maintaining the original characteristics of the audio signal. Designed to accommodate a variety of cartridge types, including variable reluctance, moving magnets, and moving coils, this phono stage allows for tailored performance through programmable gain and impedance settings, ensuring optimal matching with any cartridge. Stored memory for individual programming of four inputs allows for quick recall of settings, thus facilitating seamless transitions between different audio sources. The unit's formidable output voltage capability of 8V RMS and low-frequency rumble cutoff at 7 Hz support a dynamic range and low-end depth that are essential for audiophile-grade performance.
