Description
Vertere Calon High End MM/MC Phono Stage
We have the excellent Calon here on demonstration along with Vertere cartridges and a range of turntables.
Employing their fundamentals-focused approach to audio design, Vertere have carefully developed this high-end phono stage to meticulously enhance the performance potential of every single component it proceeds in the signal chain.
Two separate gain stages, pre and post linearisation, afford unparalleled control of signal clarity and detail resolution. A dedicated LF filter moderates wasted energy and headroom from subsonic noise, allowing your analogue source to perform to a whole new level of fine tuned efficiency. And granular impedance and capacitance control means CALON can work in perfect harmony with virtually any MM or MC cartridge you choose to use. Under its non-magnetic stainless steel chassis, two identical, gold plated, four-layer PCBs provide flawless dual mono performance. All this serves to elicit jaw-dropping new levels of dynamics and musical expression.
CALON is the new beating heart of your analogue source, transforming your system’s ability to deliver untold moments of breathtaking musical magic.
CALON features two gain stages, one pre-linearisation (default (10dB), +10dB, +20dB) , and one post- RIAA linearisation (In steps of 0dB, +2dB, +4dB, +6dB, +8db), producing previously unachieved levels of clarity, detail resolution and dynamics.
A precision low frequency filter eliminates unwanted cone flutter caused by subsonic noise that wastes energy and headroom, allowing your analogue source to perform at a significantly augmented level of efficiency, transparency and definition.
CALON is user-configurable for operation with MM or MC cartridges, with nine easily adjusted settings for both capacitance and resistance – yielding greater sonic control upon any cartridge you choose to
