Phono Stages

The Phono-1 LX may look much the same as its Award-winning predecessor, but it has taken a notable step forward in performance. It is more expressive and pulls us into the music with even greater ease.

At its given price, CALON stands apart from the current push toward posh marketing trends. It comes with superb high-end standards and represents a value proposition that sets a new benchmark for performance.

Vertere already had a great phono stage on its hands, but this updated version manages to deliver significant performance gains, thanks to some careful housekeeping and honing of the circuit board and power supply.

Magic Box – A device that comes at a reasonable price and yet is not ordinary, but different from others? Touraj Moghaddam, owner of Vertere Audio, has managed exactly this balancing act with introducing the MM/MC pre-amplifier Phono-1 MK II.

This plain-looking box turns out to be a carefully considered product with a wide range of settings that ensure compatibility with most price compatible cartridges.
