Content

Carefully selected

The meticulously selected SMD components are hand-assembled in Erlangen and tested multiple times. The effort pays off: the nano phono V2 achieves a signal-to-noise ratio of up to 80 decibels.

Flexibly adjustable

The input impedance can be adapted to the cartridge being used. This allows different MM and MC systems to deliver their sonic potential without unnecessary compromise.
