Description

Dual shunt high voltage regulation used in the power supply (design copied from high end products)

Input loading adjustable with rear panel selector (uses high quality switch instead of the poor DIL switched normally used)

Custom UK wound toroidal transformer.

Valve lineup, Two off E88CC, One off ECC82.

Internally settable for 230v and 115v areas.

Non ferrous casework.

High quality RCA sockets.

Clearaudio Nano V2 Headphone MM/MC Phono Preamplifier – Black

£450.00 Original price was: £450.00.£360.00Current price is: £360.00.
The nano phono headphone V2 additionally contains a powerful headphone amplifier within the solid aluminium housing for private listening at the highest fidelity. The Nano phono stage isn't ruffled by anything. External interferences are no longer an issue with this fine piece of engineering. Its meticulously selected SMD components are assembled by hand in Erlangen and tested several times. The reward of these efforts is a signal to noise ratio of up to 84 decibels. The input impedance is set using plug-in links, so there is no loss of quality when using different moving magnet and moving coil cartridges.
