This is fundamental to a well-designed phono stage. Without this, it will struggle to amplify the signal without added noise. This is why phono stages 'hiss' so annoyingly. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-contrast=\"none\"\u003eThe ZEN Phono has its own high-tech clean power supply. It creates a 1.2MHz power supply (20,000x mains frequency of 60Hz). In this circuit, a 10uF filtering capacitor = 200,000uF at lower, audible frequencies. With serious levels of noise filtration, it performs at the level of well-designed LC filtering circuits as found in classic tube amplifiers. Further, located on its own 'island' PCD, it is isolated so there is no noise pollution of the analog stage.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan data-contrast=\"none\"\u003eWith great circuit comes great components\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe ZEN Phono has some seriously good audio components backing up the fab circuit design which has trickled down from its ultra-fidelity AMR PH-77 and iFI iPhono siblings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"mysite","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57050164756857,"sku":"177630.0","price":5.97,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0940\/7407\/7561\/files\/177630_WWS1.jpg?v=1776067968","url":"https:\/\/vinylorb.com\/products\/ifi-audio-zen-phono-preamp-for-turntables","provider":"VINYLORB","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
