Smart Phono V2 Headphone
£740
A light 620-gram phonostage that seduced the worldwide audio press. The only thing that is ‘entry level’ about this product is its price.
A minimalist aluminium housing that contains one of the best sounding phonostages in its market. Up to 54 decibels gain at one kilohertz and an extremely linear frequency response deliver unprecedented quality at this price point. For MM and MC cartridges there are two separate circuit designs using SMD technology, which are selected by a slide switch on the underside.
The Smart Phono Headphone V2 additionally contains a powerful headphone amplifier within the solid aluminium housing for private listening at the highest fidelity.
