It has an elegant esthetic of performance, value, craftsmanship and minimalism. That heritage, however, does not keep the 20\/20 design from taking on its own unique character. First. Everyone wants the advantages of AC power line isolation offered by battery operation. The 20\/20 is for the person who wants those advantages, but does not want to mess with batteries. The 20\/20 comes as close as possible to offering an equivalence of battery isolation from AC line power. Second. Two-Mono (definition: bumping it up from dual-mono) construction. The 20\/20 is literally two identical mono phono preamplifiers. Each channel is on its own circuit board, has its own shielded compartment, power indicator, its own AC power supply and its own power cord.

Sharing its name with Sicily’s majestic Mount Etna, Etna the cartridge is an impressive monument in its own right, one that melds tried and true Lyra design tenets with designer Jonathan Carr’s very latest thinking on phono cartridges.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEtna’s center structure is solid titanium, but unlike the renowned flagship Atlas (and the Titan i before it) this central core is surrounded by an outer body that is machined from highly-polished aircraft-grade aluminum and anodized with a sexy black finish. The two pieces are press-fitted with resonance control rods and stainless steel screw bushings in a multi-material approach that is similar to the Skala’s two-piece “blade structure” construction, but much improved in its rigidity and damping characteristics. The advantage of such constrained-layer construction is that no single material’s sonic signature defines the sound of the cartridge.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEtna’s asymmetric design employs an offset yoke, a design concept first brought to fruition in the flagship Atlas. By offsetting the front magnet carrier so that it is not in line with the cantilever assembly, a direct path is established between the cantilever assembly and the tonearm’s headshell. Vibrations are quickly drained away once converted to electrical signals, effectively suppressing any induced resonances that would otherwise manifest as sonic coloration.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLyra remains the only cartridge manufacturer to mount the cantilever directly into the cartridge body, which results in a seamless, totally rigid connection between the cantilever assembly and headshell. The cantilever is diamond-coated boron, tipped with a slot-mounted nude line-contact diamond stylus.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEtna retains the X-shaped coil formers first unveiled in the flagship Atlas. Compared to traditional square coil formers, the X-shape allows each channel to operate with greater autonomy from one another, increasing tracking consistency and channel matching while also improving channel separation due to the decrease in crosstalk. Lyra’s new angle technology pre-biases the signal coils so they are perfectly aligned to the front and rear magnets during LP playback, which allows the coils to move optimally in all directions for superior, distortion-free playback.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWith the introduction of Etna, the Titan i model is discontinued and now limited to stock on hand. The Lyra line now comprises Delos, Kleos, Skala, Etna and Atlas.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhile Etna is second from the top in Lyra’s line, one listen will demonstrate that this cartridge’s performance would define the very top of any other cartridge line.

However, sometimes what is required is not more cost but more clever engineering, as with the Lyra Delos.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA major problem with most cartridges is that the signal coils are located so that applying normal tracking force restricts performance. The reason is that the cartridge's signal coils should have the same angle as the magnetic circuit when the tracking force for playback is applied, but are nearly always designed so that applying normal tracking force pushes the signal coils out of alignment with the magnetic circuit. This impairs the sensitivity and linearity of the coils, and reduces the quality of sound.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Delos solves this problem with a new body structure and pre-angled damping system. The pre-angled dampers work together with the angle of the body structure so that, when tracking force is applied, the signal coils are optimally aligned with the magnet circuit. The Delos also has a microridge stylus for outstanding tracking, a non-parallel solid metal body for low resonances, and nude construction for greater clarity. The result is clearly improved sound quality, particularly resolution, dynamic range, transient impact and immediacy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDesigner:\u003c\/strong\u003e Jonathan Carr\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBuilder:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yoshinori Mishima (final build, testing), Akiko Ishiyama (primary build)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eType:\u003c\/strong\u003e Medium weight, medium compliance, low-impedance moving coil cartridge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFrequency range:\u003c\/strong\u003e 10 Hz - 50 kHz\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eChannel separation:\u003c\/strong\u003e 30 dB or better at 1kHz\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCantilever system:\u003c\/strong\u003e Solid boron rod with Namiki microridge line-contact stylus (2.5um x 75um) and one-point suspension, directly mounted to cartridge body\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCoil:\u003c\/strong\u003e 6N high-purity copper, 8.2 Ohms internal impedance, 9.5 uH inductance\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOutput voltage:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.6 mV @ 5 cm\/sec.

your favorite analogue records.Ortofon has developed magnetic cartridges in various designs for many types of record players, tone arms and for special purposes throughout the last 40 years. And now - as we approach Ortofon´s 90 years Company Anniversary - we decided to combine our expertise and latest technology in the development of this outstanding cartridge design. As a result of reviewer listening tests we feel confident that you will appreciate and enjoy the unique qualities of these cartridges.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e2M\u003c\/strong\u003e is developed together with the Danish designer \"MøllerJensen Design\" from Copenhagen, Denmark - the same designer who designed the award winning cartridge MC Jubilee and the Kontrapunkt series. The inspiration for designing the 2M was related to the facets of the diamond - elegantly concentrating its contours against the grooves on the record surface. The name 2M was selected among several ideas. We wanted a modernname which should be easy to pronounce and to remember, and therefore an alpha numerical name was chosen. 2M means MM, which is the abbreviation for moving magnet. We are using the same names on our 2M series as we use at our Rondo series: Red, Blue and Bronze. The 2M Black will become the flagship of 2M. 2M was the last product of our former chief engineer Per Windfield. He has worked with the 2M for the last two years.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe 2M Technology\u003c\/strong\u003e 2M are designed for precise and accurate retrieval of the information in the record groove. Our philosophy is to play the record sound as accurate as possible, without coloring the sound. We have optimized the design for ease of mounting the cartridge, weight and size to fit the most common turntables at the market today. All of the 2M cartridges feature diamonds which are polished to the highest standards in the industry. The 2M Red features a tipped elliptical diamond stylus.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo obtain a flat frequency response as with a Moving Coil cartridge we are using the slit pole pins to reduce the eddy current. The slit pole pins is an Ortofon invention which was presented in the 500 series and the Super OM series. The 2M Red and 2M Blue both have the same engine with slit pole pins. With this improved engine we have been able to increase to output to 5,5 mV. The cartridge body used for the 2M Bronze and 2M Black is manufactured from a newly-developed Noryl plastic\/glass combination, a revolutionary material which ensures high rigidity while eliminating unwanted resonances.

The inspiration for designing the 2M was related to the facets of the diamond - elegantly concentrating its contours against the grooves on the record surface. The name 2M was selected among several ideas. Ortofon wanted a modern name that should be easy to pronounce and to remember, and therefore an alphanumerical name was chosen. 2M means MM, which is the abbreviation for moving magnet. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eThe 2M Black is the new moving magnet flagship from Ortofon.

When we set about to improve on what was already a high standard, we knew any changes must be significant, and provide even more insight into the subtle layers of musical detail.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnd now the Phantom II SUPREME - our newest and best effort to date - has exceeded our highest expectations, surpassing even the highly-rated Phantom II.. And when compared to other tonearms on the market, tests and preliminary user comments have confirmed that the Phantom II SUPREME is in another, altogether higher level of performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCompared to the orignal Phantom, as well as the Series II, the SUPREME has a similar outward appearance, but has important internal differences. In addition to the refined Magneglide (tm) stabilizer, new internal wiring for even better detail and improved freedom from any mechanical resistance, an upgraded pivot design for even greater dynamics, and a new titanium armwand, the SUPREME has incorporated a new pivot housing assembly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis assembly, comprised of a constrained layer combination of brass and tungsten, provides greater energy control and damping, along with improved bearing peformance. Incorporating a slightly reshaped counterweight to allow for great cartridge weight ranges and lower moment of inertia, the result is greater transparency, broader soundstaging (both side to side and front to back), with greater bass impact and extension.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCombined, these refinements yield greater performance in the areas of thundering dynamics and sheer musicality, while retaining the delicacy of detail, quality and convenience features the earlier Phantom was noted for.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe reasons for these and other significant improvements are many, and are covered in three patents, with other applications pending. The armtube itself, easily removable and using our patented alignment system, offers the safety, convenience and accuracy of off-turntable cartridge installation and alignment, as well as allowing quick interchange of multiple pre-mounted cartridges. It is significantly improved from the earlier armwands, and attaches to a nearly half-inch wide stainless-steel post-and-connector that supports the armwand under tension, resulting in virtually a one-piece armtube\/pivot assembly with high damping.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSecondly, we've addressed the all-important (and often ignored) area of dynamic balance. Tonearms should have as little inertia as possible; yet, too often, as a result of the correct placement mass distribution being overlooked, they contribute excessive resisting forces in opposition to the requirements of the phono cartridge as it attempts to follow the ups and downs of a typical record. The Phantom, in spite of its robust appearance, has been designed with a very low moment of interia, so that the majority of phono cartridges can be used with ease and maximum performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAt this point, a brief description of Balance Theory may be helpful: There are basically three types of static balance systems, Neutral, Stable, and Unstable.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSTABLE BALANCE\u003c\/strong\u003e, normally seen in laboratory scales, occurs when the CG (center of gravity) of the moving system is placed BELOW the pivot point. This system resists a change in postion; when a tonearm utlizes this type of system, and such a tonearm is displaced from its preferred rest position, it will generate an immediate and opposing force which tries to return to that same position.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUNSTABLE BALANCE\u003c\/strong\u003e, when the center of gravity is placed ABOVE the pivot point, is entirely useless for tonearm design, and will exhibit serious problems, including reduced tracking force as the arm is raised.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe third, and most desirable system for tonearms, is NEUTRAL BALANCE\u003c\/strong\u003e. With this system, the pivot point and the Center of Gravity of the moving system are in the same plane. When the arm is raised or lowered, there is no opposing force trying to return the arm to a rest position; the pivoting system doesn't really know or care if the stylus is at the record surface level or a half-inch above or below it; as a result, there is no opposing force to the arm as it is traversing record deflection during play. The only downward tracking force is that of the adjustable counterweight, which remains a constant. Previously, all true unipivots - that is, those with a single contact point for the bearing and NO secondary stablizing surfaces, bearings, etc. - required the use of side weights or a significantly lowered counterweight in order to provide stability. And generally speaking, those arms with a secondary stabilizer point require a lowered center of gravity in order to provide constant contact with the stabilizer guide bearing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe drawback to both these conditions is that this design becomes a Stable Balance system, which will cause a tonearm to have a preferred rest position and always tries to return to this point. ANY time the tonearm is raised, as in tracking warped records, it results an immediate and equally opposing force that tries to push the arm back to its rest position. The higher the warp, the more counter-force is applied. \u003cbr\u003eThis unalterable Law of Physics will work against the cantilever, deflecting it during warps and causing the magnetic system inside the cartaridge to be displaced. This, in turn, will certainly affect the reproduced sound, with diminished performance in all areas, including soundstage compression, loss of detail and dimensionality, not to mention record wear. (This is why most tonearms must have their tracking force measured at the record surface level; any height change during the measurement will cause an incorrect reading).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA tonearm with Stable Balance can be identified by measuring the tracking force at the record surface level and again at a raised position above the record. If the tracking force INCREASES at the higher position, the arm has Stable Balance. Our own previous designs - the best we could make at that time - also had this limitation due to the use of side weights to provide lateral stability.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOther unipivots with low-slung counterweights will all exhibit this force; the lower the weight, the more counter-force is applied. Although this technique is often promoted as a \"high-stability\" design, it does so at the expense of consistent tracking force and linear cartridge performance. . It actually results in varying tracking forces during play when traversing even small warps, accompanied by non-linear cartidge operation, and increased record wear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOnce Neutral Balance is chosen for use in a unipivot tonearm, one must remember that both the vertical and lateral planes will be affected the same way; without proper lateral stability, such a design would not have consistenent, proper vertical alignment, and the pivot would tend to flop over to one side or another (usually in the direction of the weighted cartridge offset angle mounting). Obviously this condition must be avoided.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe answer to this lies at the very heart of the Phantom's design and its unique ability to retrieve groove information unprecended, we believe, in tonearm design. The key to this achievement is a magnetic stabilization system which we have called \"Magneglide\" (TM). With this unique, patented system, all lateral stability, and a portion of the damping, is provided by powerful neodymium (\"rare-earth\") magnets, placed in a horizontal line from the pivot point of the tonearm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWorking as an adjustable system, Magneglide (TM) provides the following six benefits: increased lateral stability, easy azimuth adjustability, a higher intertial lateral component for improved bass reproduction, augmentation of system damping, true vertical pivoting of the stylus tip with no rotation as the arm is raised, and easily adjusted anti-skate compensation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn combination with pivot fluid damping (similar to that used with the Model 2.2), the Magneglide (TM) system allows normal vertical pivoting of the tonearm in true Neutral Balance, with vanishingly low friction; yet, provides a strong lateral stability that feels almost like fixed bearing arms. (No wobbling of the arm as it is lifted, for instance).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn addition, this dual-damped system forces the Phantom to pivot in the correct vertical plane of the stylus tip, with no rotation as the arm is raised. No regular unipivot can achieve this important geometric requirement. Even a few fixed bearing arms don't get this right!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf the vertical motion of the tonearm is in plane of the armtube itself (and not the correct plane of the stylus face angle), the cartridge will tend to tip over to its side as the arm is raised, as when tracking over warps. This will cause noticeable channel imbalance and reduced tracking accuracy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith the patented Magneglide (TM) design, we have a high-load, chatter-free and virtually friction-free damped unipivot bearing, combined with true Neutral Balance, and with the all-important geometric accuracy of correct vertical pivoting parallel with the face of the stylus tip.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf all that weren't enough, the Magneglide (TM) system also permits the application of anti-skate through the magnetic coupling of the design, thereby eliminating ANY direct contact or possible resonance to affect the main pivot assembly of the tonearm. The anti-skate system is completely independent, mechanically, and is easily adjusted either by a thumb-wheel rotation or sliding motion (user's choice) of the bias weight for minute adjustments from near zero force to 3+ grams.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf your turntable already had a Graham tonearm on it (to get the angles correct), the Phantom is a true \"drop-in\" replacement. Although turntable manufactuers understandably encourage you to use tonearms of their own manufacture, this is not necessary; the modifications to make the Phantom fit are relatively easy, and we provide customer assistance in this area when needed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs part of our design tradition, we maintain an upgrade path so that even the earliest Phantom B-44 model can be brought up to the current Phantom II SUPREME status.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Graham Engineering","offers":[{"title":"10 inch \/ SME","offer_id":21831296005,"sku":"PHANTOM2SUP-01","price":19250.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"12 inch (313mm) \/ SME","offer_id":50957832814776,"sku":"PHANTOM2SUP-02","price":33000.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1564\/1247\/products\/385a83995ecfbaebceb2db136b42efd2.jpg?v=1741632492"},{"product_id":"pro-ject-phono-box-rs","title":"Pro-Ject Phono Box RS","description":"\u003ch1\u003ePro-Ject Phono Box RS Phonostage\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Phono Box RS is an ultra-low noise and distortion phono preamplifier for the analog audio purist.

Designed to be smaller and with a 10\" tonearm, the Xtension 10 delivers nearly all of the 12's performance in a more compact and less expensive package. Pro-Ject's Xtension 10 incorporates over 20 years of experience in turntable design and manufacture. The Xtension 10 represents their latest technological efforts to address mass-decoupling and resonance reduction. Beginning with the mass-loaded magnetically floated sub-chassis and the precision balanced sandwich alloy platter (recycled vinyl\/alloy), the foundation of this system weighs in at a super-heavy 48lbs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAdditionally, Pro-Ject employs magnetic decoupling feet to thwart airborne or mechanical vibration from disturbing playback. This mass and isolation create an environment of extremely low resonance allowing music to emerge from an ultra-silent black background. An AC motor with a two-step pulley-drive with Electronic Speed Control maintains perfect pitch and rhythm resulting in inaudible wow, flutter and noise. Further reducing noise and vibration is the isolated Sorbothane mounting board for the 10\" carbon-fiber tonearm.
