The Vitus Audio MP-P201 Mk.III phono preamplifier has presented
26.12.2024 20:01
The Vitus Audio MP-P201 Mk.III phono preamplifier uses the same discrete gain stage modules that were developed for the MP-L201, but for this phono preamplifier they have been optimized to achieve much lower noise levels. This is important to ensure high-quality musical performance even with cartridges with the lowest output voltage currently available on the market.
The Vitus Audio MP-P201 Mk.III offers MC gain 50, 53, 55, 57, 60, 63, 67, 70, 72, 75dB and MC load steps 10, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 50, 75, 90, 100, 110, 120, 150, 200, 250, 300, 400, 500, 750, 1k, 2kΩ - gain is fully selectable based on the output voltage of the connected cartridge.
This is the optimal way to ensure the ideal balance between the cartridge and the phono preamplifier. And changing the gain settings and load parameters is easy using the remote control or the buttons on the front panel of the unit. Of course, the phono preamplifier is capable of handling both moving magnet (MM) and moving coil (MC) cartridges.
Finally, the external power supply ensures a significant reduction in noise levels. The power transformer and other components of the power supply are located far from the sensitive audio circuits of the Vitus Audio MP-P201 Mk.III.

SPEC RSA-EX1000 – integrated amplifier in a case made of maple and spruce
The Japanese company SPEC CORPORATION has introduced a new integrated amplifier SPEC RSA-EX1000. The model uses a main board designed to minimize the length of the passage of musical signals from the volume control to the low-pass filter - according to the manufacturer, this preserves even the weakest signals and ensures a wealth of detail. Of course, the sound quality is also improved by reducing the inductance (coil effect) due to the minimization of internal wiring.

Definitive Technology Demand D11 – compact bookshelf loudspeakers with a bunch of innovations
The Definitive Technology Demand D11 bookshelf speakers use a dual suspension system of the BDSS mid/low-frequency driver, in which the 165 mm polypropylene diffuser is attached to the basket not only along the outer edge. In this case, the second suspension in the center of the system connects the inner edge of the diffuser with the core, which contains a proprietary waveguide - this design significantly improves the linearity of the diffuser movement.
