CYRUS AUDIO ANNOUNCES UPDATE TO THE CYRUS PHONO SIGNATURE THE CYRUS CLASSIC PHONO
The original Cyrus Phono Signature has gained a lot of vinyl fans from around the world since it launched back in 2016, now Cyrus is announcing an update to this classic model, the Cyrus Classic Phono.
CYRUS CLASSIC PHONO PHONOSTAGE
“We wanted to make sure that an update to this popular phono stage did not unnecessarily push up the price and that it remained very much a part of the new Classic series. A year of work from our R&D team has enabled us to re-examine all areas of the Phono Signature and carry out updates where possible. The baseplate has also been updated in line with the Classic AMP, PRE, STREAM and POWER, which provides improved mechanical isolation as well as greater immunity to external electrical interference, which is vitally important when it comes to the accurate reproduction of audio.” Chris Hutcheson, Head of Marketing at Cyrus
UP TO FOUR TURNTABLES
Four turntables may be permanently connected allowing the listener to easily switch between turntables, arms or cartridges as desired. Each input may be adjusted between; MM or MC, gain, resistance and capacitance. Settings are conveniently saved to memory for future reference.
Stereo output level meters working in real time allow clear and accurate gain adjustment to optimise the headroom available from your system for each MC cartridge.
PSX-R2 PORT
The Classic PHONO includes a port for the PSX-R2 power supply. Power from the PSX-R2 is routed internally to provide a more stable, low-noise power supply.
The passive RIAA filtering uses very high performance metallized polyester capacitors for ultimate accuracy and performance.
Remote control of all the main adjustment options are possible from the convenience of the listener’s chair.
Even though this is most definitely an update rather than a re-design, Cyrus has kept the price of the Classic PHONO in line with the original Phono Signature, continuing to bring this popular phono stage to vinyl fans at a very competitive price point.
