Layout Highlights

Ultra low noise, active, hybrid solid state circuit delivers incredible performance with open, transparent and dynamic sound. The circuit design is established without any compromise in mind: massive 70000uf capacitor bank, dual mono, 6 in total, individual power supplies for each stage, separate input stages for MM and MC, extremely short signal path, triple shielding, extremely low impedance relays and high current, discrete output circuit. The sound and the level of performance of the Moonriver 505 phono stage is hard to be described and it must be auditioned to be believed.
