FLAGSHIP EXPOSURE VXN PHONO AMPLIFIER RELEASED
British HiFi brand Exposure Electronics has released their new flagship phono stage, the Exposure VXN Phono Amplifier.
The new Exposure VXN Phono Amplifier is designed to be partnered with Exposure’s VXN Power Supply, forming a two-box set-up in which the sensitive phono circuits are entirely isolated from the power supply circuitry, two VXN power supplies can be used, one for each channel, in a three-box dual mono configuration.
MC AND MM CARTRIDGES
Fully adjustable input stages can be tailored for either MM or MC cartridges, ensuring that the cartridge loading and gain are optimally set.
EXPOSURE VXN PHONO AMPLIFIER FEATURES
All audio circuits use discrete transistors only; no integrated circuits in the signal path. Very low noise power supply with multiple stages of regulation. High-quality resistors and capacitors throughout the signal path. High-quality polypropylene capacitors in critical areas of the RIAA equalisation. Separate MM and MC inputs are selectable on the front panel. Adjustable loading and gain switches on the back panel. High quality all aluminium casework and extruded front panel, to control resonance and stray electromagnetic fields.
