About the Phono 2
The Vista Audio Phono 2 is a phono preamplifier designed for audiophiles seeking exceptional sound quality and flexibility at an accessible price point. It features a direct-coupled signal path with no capacitors in the audio path, ensuring minimal coloration and maximum transparency. RIAA equalization is handled by high-precision film capacitors and a passive RIAA circuit. The Phono 2 offers extensive cartridge matching options, including adjustable input resistance and capacitance, as well as selectable gain settings. It operates in Class A when connected to a preamplifier with input impedance greater than 1 kOhm, and is available in both 120V and 230V versions for global compatibility.
