About the Nano Phono V2
The Clearaudio Nano Phono V2 is a high-end phono preamplifier designed for both moving magnet (MM) and moving coil (MC) cartridges. It features a fully dual-mono circuit with separate left and right channel switches for input loading, gain control, MM/MC selection, and subsonic filter, all located on the underside. The unit has an extremely compact design with a solid CNC-machined aluminum chassis housing a printed circuit board using surface-mount technology and precision components like Burr-Brown integrated circuits for noise-free reproduction. Top-mounted controls include a power on/off button and gain attenuator for precise level matching. It supports user-configurable MC loading via included resistor pairs (51 ohm, 200 ohm, 402 ohm, 1 kohm). RIAA equalization follows standard time constants with excellent accuracy. The external power supply ensures low noise.
