Description
Canor Audio Asterion V2 : Phono Preamp
The CANOR Asterion V2 stands out as a top-of-the-line preamplifier for turntables, employing all-tube technology to deliver unparalleled performance. It’s designed to work seamlessly with both MM and MC phono cartridges, making it a versatile choice for audiophiles who demand the best
- an all-tube turntable preamplifier for both MM and MC phono cartridges
- nine tubes, one vacuum tube out of them used to rectify anode voltage
- wiring circuitry without any global feedback
- PCB’s utilize our premium CMT ™ technology
- precise selection and matching of the tubes that have above-average parameters
- vacuum-impregnated transformer core
- transformer potted in a special anti-vibration compound and placed in the massive welded cover
- the exceptional high-quality polypropylene capacitors in the signal path were used
- if a turntable is fitted with two tonearms, one having an MM phono cartridge installed and the other MC, both can be connected simultaneously without mutually affecting each other
- high variability of gain settings, resistances and capacitances settings for all types of phono cartridges
- a high-quality step-up Lundahl transformer for MC phono cartridges
