Whisper Phono Stage
The phono stage is often the most overlooked item in a stereo system. The low output of just about any moving coil cartridge requires low ground noise and this in turn requires a lot of gain. Why not just step up the gain then? Well, it’s not that easy. But Valve Audio’s new Whisper, provides lots of gain without increasing the noise floor. Selectable impedance loading allow a variety of options and combinations to suit any cartridge.
Specifications
Hybrid valve phono stage for both moving coil and moving magnet cartridges
MC/MM boards can be ordered seperately
Fully balanced operation even in single ended mode
Low noise floor
