VINNIEROSSI CANTA PHONO PREAMPLIFIER INTRODUCES NEW CANTA SERIES
VinnieRossi has introduced the new Canta Series of audio components, with the VinnieRossi Canta Phono Preamplifier as the first product in the range.
The VinnieRossi says the series is intended to bring technologies and design approaches developed for its Brama Series to a wider audience.
VINNIEROSSI CANTA PHONO PREAMPLIFIER
The VinnieRossi Canta Phono Preamplifier was showcased at the Hong Kong and Taipei audio shows in August, with production now underway. The first units are scheduled to begin shipping at the end of September.
VINNIEROSSI CANTA PHONO PREAMPLIFIER FEATURES
The phono stage uses a fully discrete, dual-mono architecture and provides both balanced XLR and single-ended RCA connectivity. Its design includes a discrete JFET input stage, high-precision RIAA equalisation and a Belleson super-regulated power supply.
The VinnieRossi Canta Phono Preamplifieris designed to work with both moving-magnet and moving-coil cartridges. It also provides flexible cartridge loading and a switchable high-pass filter.
