ORACLE
PARIS PH200 Phonostage
The distinctive
design of the Paris PH200 with its elegantly sculpted chassis carries the
unique signature of the Paris
series. The secret behind the overall tonal balance and performance of the Paris
phono preamplifier lies in the careful selection and combination of the
different components. The internal circuitry of the Paris PH200 is a two stage
design. The first stage has for role to amplify the faint signal coming from
the phono cartridge in order to present the signal with an acceptable level to
the straightening RIAA curve circuit. The second stage has for role to amplify
the signal to the required output level of the PH200. Both amplifying stages
were designed such that they optimize the signal to noise ratio of the PH200
which results in a very rapid and high dynamic contrast giving to the Ph200 all
its musicality!
The Paris PH200
distinguishes itself from the PH100 as it is equipped with an additional signal
regulation step located just before the RIAA circuit input and also by the
usage of higher quality operational amplifiers on the analog amplifying modules
further improving the sound. The last of these distinctions and not the least
is the usage of a highly regulated and filtered external power supply. Extreme
care and attention has been applied to eliminate the electrical line noise
before it can access the Paris
phono stage circuitry. The PH200 has been designed to accommodate usage of both
moving coil and moving magnet phono cartridges. The PH200 offers variable
moving coil cartridge load settings and variable gain using jumper
configurations on both the left and right channels. The different values of
load impedance and gain that are possible are listed on the technical
specifications page of the PH200. The Paris PH200 will bring you to a
re-discovery of your record collection and will provide countless hours of
enjoyable and satisfying musical experience!
