PREOWNED - $500 LIST! - FULLY TESTED - SILVER - COMPLETE UNITiFi was born in 2012 with one goal in mind: to produce ultra-fidelity audio products that push the sonic envelope whilst still priced within the mainstream.iFi audio is under our parent company, AMR, Abbingdon Music Research, which designs and produces top-end luxurious audio products. AMR saw in 2010 that customer demand for wireless and portable headphones was expanding as the whole audio dynamic was changing. Thus, iFi was launched.iFi offers small but prodigious personal audio products thanks to the superior knowledge of AMR’s technology. Today, we are proud of our British (and international) roots. We continue to design and produce over 35 different products. We are headquartered in Southport, UK with distribution including retailers such as B&H and etailz with production overseas.We source parts from around the world from manufacturers including AMOS (UK), GE Valves (USA), WIMA (Germany) and TDK (Japan).micro iPhono2iFi micro iPhono2 MM/MC Phono Preamplifier pairs with any cartridge for a sublime sound, super-quiet noise floor, ultra-wide gain, and an incredible 106 dB dynamic range. It features a ground-up design that further enhances the sonic performance and audiophile-quality versatility. An ultra-quiet noise floor (85dB SNR) allows you to intimately experience the prized nuances, details, and backgrounds in your records grooves at any volume you desire without having to worry about hearing phono preamplifier noise. Want more quiet? iFis ultra-silent iPower outboard power supply (15v) is included in the box. Youll hear your LPs produce a more natural, lifelike sound enriched with lower distortion, increased resolution, and remarkable transient response. The iPhono2 can do with practically any MM or MC cartridge extant. An ultra-wide gain of 36dB to 72db means the iPhono2 can mate with any cartridge and play with sublime results – all without the need of a step-up transformer. And because iPhono2 uses a DirectDrive Servo-less DC Infinity circuit, no noise or distortion are added to the signal path. Six stereo EQ curves ensure accurate playback, which means you will never play another LP with the wrong EQ and tolerate inferior sonics. With Decca, RIAA, Columbia, eRIAA, IEC, and eRIAA/IEC curves at the ready, accurate playback is ensured for all types of music and all eras of records. The iPhono literally gives you new lease of life to your record collection and is ideal for enthusiasts with huge libraries. It is the last phonostage you will buy as it sounds so good and is so feature packed. You will use it for many years to come. TubesThe iPhono2 uses a refined Class A TubeState circuit utilizing the Burr-Brown Soundplus J-FET amp as part of the J-FET/BJT output buffer. The circuit reduces the load seen by the main amplification circuit, which improves linearity while allowing it to drive, even punishing 600 Ohm studio inputs. MM and MC CartridgesMost phono pre-amplifiers have gain adjustment levels. Different cartridges require different gain levels. MM cartridges require lower gain and MC cartridge require higher gain. Normally gain is expressed in decibel (dB); 36dB means 63 times gain. The iPhono2 allows gain levels from 36dB (63 times) to 72dB (4,000 times) to be set allowing for Cartridges with rated outputs from <= 0.1mV to >= 10mV. Meaning your choice of cartridge is completely free and not limited by the iPhono 2. EnclosureThe micro iPhono2 features the iFi aluminum block. This enclosure acts as a shield against harmful electromagnetic interference (EMI/RFI) to further minimize noise. Blocking all any incoming noise results in vast sound quality improvements. Non-aluminium designs offer little to no shielding from EMI/RFI.72dB GainAny cartridge at any value to be accommodated optimally. Maximum gain is now an astonishing 72dB. This can handle the lowest of low output MC cartridges. Even the legendary Ortofon MC-5000 does not require sound-degrading step-up transformers.CurvesThe RIAA Equalization circuit provides a +/- 0.2dB accuracy of the RIAA EQ from 20Hz – 20kHz. Truly reference class performance.The iPhono2 is also a perfect match for older non-RIAA LPs too. It retains the very popular six different Stereo EQ curves found in the original iPhono.Class A AmplifierThe Class A amplifier stage is a Ferrari - it runs fast at its max potential at all times.It combines N-Channel J-Fet and a PNP bi-polar transistor for a warm, unsurpassed, natural sound.Ultra QuietTo DC Infinity and beyond. The all new DirectDrive Servoless DC Infinity circuit has no capacitor and no DC-Servo meaning no noise and no distortion.Maximum undistorted output: 6V (Load >= 600 Ohm, THD <=1%)Total Harmonic Distortion (THD): <0.0007% (MM 36dB 1V out 600R Load)Output Impedance: <100?Input Voltage: AC 100 – 240V, 50/60HzPower Consumption: < 5W (ships with iPOWER 15v – do NOT use any other power supply)Dimensions: 6.2? x 2.3? x 1.1 Weight: 0.44 lbs.
