AAVIK Phono Stages
The Aavik phono stage has been developed to tease out the natural flow of music that is so typical of a vinyl-based sound source. The extensive research Aavik invested in gaining a deeper understanding of the major turntable and cartridge challenges shaped the platform for the engineering solutions embedded in the Aavik phono stage. The key strength of the Aavik RIAA is the sonic isolation of the ultra-low signals that emanate from the vinyl source, and the filtering out of any disturbing outside noise and vibration.
Description
AAVIK’s phono stages use a range of high-quality components, including custom-designed transformers and capacitors, to deliver accurate and transparent sound reproduction. They also incorporate advanced circuitry and signal processing technologies to reduce noise and distortion, and to optimize the phono stage’s performance for different types of cartridges and music recordings.
Some of AAVIK’s phono stages feature adjustable gain and loading settings, allowing users to customize the device’s performance to match their specific turntable and cartridge setup. They may also have features such as balanced inputs and outputs, digital output, and compatibility with multiple types of cartridges.
