Tellurium Q Iridium Moving Coil - Moving Magnet Phono Preamplifier

Tellurium Q Iridium MM/MC Phono Pre Amp

“Startlingly good phono amp that provides the best of both solid state and Valve technology. A market leader in its price point, the Iridium will provide stiff competition for solid state phono amps  far higher up the price ladder”

HiFi World 2012

Iridium series Phonostage

Moving coil and moving magnet

Separate moving coil stage buffered and with gain to reduce noise

Moving Magnet stage:

To within +/- 0.5dB of the standard R.I.A. A. Being more accurate than would be expected

Two sets of output Volume controlled and a non volume controlled buffer stage out designed to run into other preamp stages giving preamps a phonostage capability.

Controlled volume output stage:

Special feedback compensation circuit to get better performance from those not fortunate enough to own Tellurium Q cables (not a joke).

Regulated power supply using  hum / ripple rejection technology.
