Silvercore "Phono Two"
The phono two is a world class phono tube preamp with passive LCR RIAA. It is already equipped with Silvercore MC-Pro transformers and internally also on pure MM mode switchable.
Concept
Silvcore phono two has implemented the theory of the shortest possible signal path. Already on the first 5 centimeters, the delicate phono signal reaches the line level. The LCR-RIAA, is on the royal way of equalization options for vinyl, in combination with extraordinary tubes and very best Silvercoe transformers for a sound that is one of the best.
The capacitors in the signal path are reduced to a minimum. Here Silvercore uses exclusively NOS silver mica and specially made in Germany zinc foil MKP. My LCR-RIAA is built with extra large coils to facilitate the work the tubes. If the coils are wound in silver alloy or pure silver, considerable amounts of precious metals come together.
Custom Made
The phono two produced by hand in Leipzig. As with other devices, you can finalize the look, features, and tube choices to get exactly "your" phono two.
