The Pro-Ject Tube Box S2 phono preamp is specifically designed to work with both MM and MC cartridge types and features adjustable settings on the front panel. One standout feature of this preamp is its use of tubes, which greatly enhance the sound quality by adding warmth and expressiveness.
What sets the Pro-Ject Tube Box S2 apart is its audio circuit, which is built entirely using discrete components, eliminating the need for operational amplifiers (OP-AMPs). Advanced users also have the option to replace the tubes to customize the sound characteristics to their preference.
The Pro-Ject Tube Box S2 phono preamp offers five different input impedance options for various MC cartridges. Additionally, its multi-layer metal casing provides protection against vibrations and electromagnetic interference, ensuring the delicate circuitry remains unaffected.
With the Pro-Ject Tube Box S2, you can expect a rich and relaxed sound reproduction, characterized by natural and expressive mid frequencies. This level of audio quality is typically found in more expensive tube preamplifiers, making the Pro-Ject Tube Box S2 a remarkable choice in terms of both performance and affordability.
