iFi Zen Phono

The ZEN Phono is a wonderful enhancement to your vinyl setup. It will max out every MM/MC cartridge.

Choc full of AMR/iFi trickle-down vinyl technology, it will have you poring over your LPs into the wee, small hours.

Unlike any other entry-level phono stage. The ZEN Phono has:

• MM/MC from 36dB >72dB gain. Super-silent noise floor -151dBV
• Precise RIAA with Balanced output, performance comparable to +$1k phono stages 
• AI sub-sonic filter. Addresses warp without eliminating bass or causing phase issues

Mil-spec RIAA

The EQ circuit uses multiple TDK C0G capacitors in parallel. This is for best stability and the least distortion. They beat polystyrene capacitors and are close to Teflon. Read more here.

Already using the lowest tolerance capacitors combined with multiples in parallel, tolerance is exponentially improved by the square root of the number of capacitors. This is quite a natty circuit design.

The RIAA EQ tolerance level (+/- 0.15dB) is impressive as it is en par with hand-selected capacitors!
