THE MOST ADVANCED
PHONO STAGE
The PH-1000 is simply the best phono stage
we have ever created, a unique piece of
audio engineering designed to be innovative
in every possible way and 100% made in
Italy. Featuring class A exclusive discrete
components, class A headphone output,
+40 EQ curves, manually adjustable custom
EQ curves, and the high-quality class A line
preamp which comes as an optional on the
PH-1000 LINE. For the first time ever, you
will be able to play virtually any record the
way it’s meant to be thanks to more than 40
EQ curves available, or even customise the
EQ curves manually by adjusting three main
parameters - that’s why the PH-1000 is a
complete game-changer, opening a new era
in vinyl reproduction.
PERFECT CARTRIDGE MATCHING
With 14 options to adjust the gain, 12 for the
load and 6 for the capacitance it is the ideal
phono stage for high-performance analogue
systems, capable of driving even the most
exotic of cartridges with perfect synergy,
making the PH-1000 a versatile tool even for
high-end recording studios.
On top of that, you can change settings
and make ultra-fine adjustments, including
the EQ curve, on the go by simply using
the SKC and the display as you are playing
music. Our innovative technology allows
the best ease of use while preserving
entirely the sound quality as it works in the
analogue domain: the interface is digital and
independent from the audio path, which is
completely analogue. The result is an ultra-
low noise phono stage with high gain and no
audio filters.
All the functionalities are in fact managed
through discrete audio-grade components
and sealed single switches, always
shortening the signal path to deliver superior
audio quality and extract even the finest
details from the vinyl record. Powered by our
custom firmware, the PH-1000 can be easily
updated via computer when necessary.
MAXIMUM FLEXIBILITY
The PH-1000 offers 3 independent inputs,
two RCA and one XLR. There are also 2
other inputs, one RCA and one XLR, that
can be used either for the external load
plugs for even finer control of the load or as
line inputs on the PH-1000 LINE. Add the
other functionalities, such as the headphone
output, the Stereo/Mono control with phase
inversion, the L/R channel swap and the
rumble infrasonic filter and here you have
it, the most advanced phono stage on the
market.
HIGH-QUALITY COMPONENTS
The level of quality meets the highest
standard throughout the entire production:
from the aluminium ultra-solid chassis
machined with precision to the electronic
components and circuitry that undergo strict
QC computer-controlled tests.
TOTAL CONTROL
The PH-1000 shows every detail on the
colour display powered by our proprietary
firmware. With the SKC [Single Knob Control
technology] and the display, you have an
intuitive system to easily control the phono
stage and quickly make fine-adjustments
without even interrupting the playback.
