The phono stage uses high‑precision RIAA equalization and an ultra‑stable Belleson power supply with low noise. It also features a switchable subsonic filter that reduces the impact of low‑frequency oscillations caused by deformed records, vibrations, and bearing noise, and at the same time helps protect the acoustics from excessive cone travel.
