“This is a wonderful device that exceeds the limits between technologies, because it does not sound like solid-state or tube, but simply good. And looks great, which shouldn’t be without significance, after all, we spend a lot of time with audio devices. So it’s a shame to waste it on something ugly.”
LCR Filter Type Phono Equalizer Amplifier.
L=inductor, C=capacitor, R=resistor.
To have ideal “L” of RIAA inductor, equivalent DC resistance factor is strictly selected to improve quality factor. Use 4 pieces L. 2 for high range compensation and 2 for low range compensation. Aurorasound logo printed special version made by Lundahl.
Aurora AMP module2 rev4.0, discrete precision and high performance same with VIDA-Supreme.
Optimized signal flow and path by eliminating a wire harness by new print circuit board.
Robustness chassis design against external radio noise and magnetic leakage.
By these changes, L/R channel separation is improved +6dB, this is double improvement.
THD+N, Total Harmonic Distortion + Noise factor is improved from 0.028% to 0.012%. Double improved.
Stability and reliability are improved for longer term life. Sonic perforce is enhanced. Fulfilling mid range, clear and tight bass, elegant high range with 3D stereo image.
