About the Phono Signature
The Cyrus Phono Signature is a premium phono preamplifier that excels in preserving the purity of the audio signal from the stylus. It features four turntable connections, allowing users to switch between different turntables or cartridges easily. Each input can be configured for MM or MC cartridges, with adjustable gain (40dB to 70dB), resistance (11Ω to 47kΩ), and capacitance (220pF to 3000pF). Settings can be stored for future reference. The device is remote-controllable, making adjustments convenient from the listener's chair. It includes a real-time stereo output level meter for optimizing gain and headroom. The Phono Signature uses high-performance metallized polyester capacitors for passive RIAA filtering, ensuring accurate sound reproduction. An optional external PSX-R2 power supply can enhance performance further.
