Amplification Circuit at La Fine Pointe
The circuit of a phono preamplifier has two main functions: to amplify the weak signal coming from the phono cartridge as well as to rectify the signal according to the conventional RIAA curve. The RIAA rectifier circuit of these two phono preamplifiers is identical and promises a very precise correction of this curve. Oracle's analog amplifier modules are of the highest quality and are assembled from components chosen for their high quality and performance. Installed in a simple and precisely balanced circuit layout on both left and right channels, these analog modules are at the very heart of the sonic signature.
An Outstanding Adaptation
The PH200 has an additional regulation stage just at the input of the RIAA circuit as well as a version of operational amps that is more elaborate and efficient than the PH-100 at the amplification stage. Accessible through an opening under the device, bridging connectors (Bridge) allow configurations so as to adapt to the signal of all moving coil cartridges at high or low level output as well as all magnet cartridges mobile. Indeed, with their three gain levels which are coupled to the six choices of input resistors, the PH100 and PH200 preamplifiers are very versatile devices!
Top-of-the-range food
The PH100 and PH200 preamplifiers are distinguished by their different power supplies. The Paris PH100 is equipped with an internal power supply which was designed with great care to avoid generating unwanted noise. This allows the PH100 to operate in transparent silence and allow the music to "sketch" against a smooth, noise-free background. The Paris PH200, for its part, has a high-end external power supply whose choice of components is not limited by the size of the case. The result is an increased degree of performance that takes the level of detail and speed of attack to new heights.
Quality of Exemplary Finishes
The Paris PH200 preamplifier is available in all colors of the Paris series: Black, White, Red, Yellow, and Titanium Gray with a High Quality lacquer finish. With a price accessible to all, the Paris PH100 is available in Black or Titanium Gray with a satin finish.
