Pro-Ject Phono Box S2 Ultra
w/ Adjustable Gain, Adjustable Loading, External Power Supply, MC Compatible, Subsonic Filter
Item #PRO:PHONOBOXS2ULTRA
Overview
Pro-Ject is offering a fully discrete, OpAmp less design, which enabled them to realize an incredibly harmonious sound. On top of leaving out operational amplifiers, Pro-Ject decided to use polystyrene capacitors, which significantly contribute to the high-end sound of the Phono Box S2 Ultra. These capacitors are known amongst audiophiles as the holy grail for phono preamplifiers. The split RIAA equalization enables a pin-point accurate representation of the RIAA curve, a luxury many other phono preamps do not possess.
