The original iPhono model received top ratings in the price range up to $1000. Maintaining the essence and successful principles of the design, we started from scratch and step by step created the new iPhono2 model. The design, circuitry, and components allowed us to achieve:
An ultra-wide gain range - up to a remarkable 75 dB, with a minimum of 36 dB, providing compatibility with all types of cartridges
Very low levels of self-noise: signal-to-noise ratio exceeds 86 dB - 10 dB more than the original
Unmatched linearity: borrowing the latest development from AMR, the tube circuit operates strictly in Class A
Direct drive output circuitry for a straight connection without passive components in the signal path with a gain range from 0 to infinity
No capacitors or other DC isolation circuits means a complete absence of noise and distortion introduced into the audio chain. Impressive sound characteristics achievable with any type of cartridge, from Shure V15 to Koetsu Coralstone, rightfully opening the listener's heart and soul to vinyl records.
Equipment of IFI Micro iPhono 2:
Wide gain range from 36-72 dB
Set of 6 high-precision EQs
Latest technological advancements from AMR. Class A tube circuitry
Gain circuit with a range from 0 to infinity
Reference-grade components from Elna Silmics and Silver Mica
Extremely low-noise iPower power supply - quieter than a DC battery
