PHONO STAGE
EQ Preamplifier for vinyl records

The input stage uses high-precision metal foil resistors. The correction capacitors use polystyrene technology. No concessions. The phono stage adapts to all types of cartridges, variable reluctance, moving magnets or moving coils. The preamplifier has four individually programmable inputs. For each, you can set the gain, input impedance, input capacitance and connection type. All programmed parameters are stored in memory.

The Kora Phono stage is a real «Swiss army knife» that will enable you to extract all  the subtleties of your vinyl records while respecting the requirements of your cartridge. In the past years, the quality of analog replay has significantly improved : Turntables, cartridges, tonearms are able to extract every subtle details of the recording. The Kora Phono preamp is the perfect extension of the analog source and has been designed to provide the perfect combination of the finest musical reproduction and adjustability to ensure to deliver a ultra rich, life like level of analog playback. The phono Stage Kora is an audio adaptation of the EPC1 D,  an ultra-low-noise laboratory preamplifier with unique characteristics (built by Kora’s professional division). In the input stage, high-precision metal foil resistors are used. The correction capacitors use polystyrene technology. The Phono Stage adapts to all types of cartridges, whether variable reluctance, moving magnets or moving coils. The preamplifier features four individually programmable inputs. For each, you can set gain, input impedance, input capacitance and connection type. Two inputs are on threepin «XLR» type sockets, which can be used to receive a cartridge connected symmetrically (two signal wires plus ground)  or asymmetrically (one signal wire and a reference, ground). Two other inputs are coaxial «RCA» sockets. These two inputs are unbalanced by design. The preamplifier has two unbalanced and two balanced outputs that can operate simultaneously
