INTRODUCTION
Pedigree. Performance. Peerless.
The ZEN Phono is an entry level phono stage with a
difference. Normally, sub £200 phono stages add
excessive noise that hinders musical enjoyment.
The iFi ZEN Phono is an exception to the rule due to its
trickle-down know-how from AMR/iFi phono pre-amps.
First and foremost, the noise floor is a whisper-quiet –
90/96dB (36/60dB, BAL 2V/SE 1V, A-weighted) on
MM/MC respectively.
It is also able to handle MM/MC cartridges from
<0.25mV to >2mV to bring true high-end performance
and flexibility to the entry sector.
Finally, the ZEN Phono has the performance and the
features not found in many other phono stages:
•
MM/MC-36dB >72dB gain. Noise floor of –
90/96 dB
•
Balanced circuitry – unheard of in this category
•
Intelligent Subsonic filter – solves warp issues
effectively
