Canor Asterion V2 Tube Phono Preamplifier MM - MC Black
Deliveries may be delayed due to the Christmas period
Balanced tube MM/MC Phono stage. Zero feedback and fully balanced (True Balanced) circuitry. The MC input has an internal step-up with a Lundahl transformer. Impedance and capacity are variable via a front knob. The power stage uses a custom transformer where the primary and secondary are galvanically separated by a copper foil and the whole thing is encapsulated inside a container filled with anti-vibration composite material. Only the best polypropylene capacitors are used in the signal path. Proprietary CMT technology printed circuit board design. 1 MM RCA input and 2 MC inputs 1 RCA and 1 XLR. 2 Outputs 1 RCA and 1 XLR. Solid aluminum chassis to eliminate vibrations. Dot matrix graphic display.

Product Features
an all-tube turntable preamplifier for both MM and MC phono cartridges
nine tubes, one of which is a vacuum tube, used to rectify the anode voltage
circuit wiring with no global feedback
PCBs use our premium CMT™ technology
precise tube selection and matching with above-average parameters
vacuum-impregnated transformer core
transformer encapsulated in a special anti-vibration compound and positioned in the massive cover soldered
Exceptional quality polypropylene capacitors have been used in the signal path
If a turntable is equipped with two tonearms, one with an MM phono cartridge installed and the other MC, both can be connected simultaneously without affecting each other
High variability of gain settings, resistances and capacitances for all types of phono cartridges
A high quality Lundahl step-up transformer for MC phono cartridges
