Cyrus Phono Signature
Cyrus used a highly advanced circuit design for this turntable pre-amplifier and coupled it to a high capacity, ultra-low noise power supply which allows for an extremely wide dynamic range and high output levels without fear of signal clipping.
The circuit layout and placement coupled with the excellent die-cast aluminium chassis generates a particularly low-noise floor improving both dynamics and the ability to resolve extremely fine detail.
Many serious turntable owners have more than one deck and this pre-amp has a total of four separate inputs, each one being fully configurable for the connected turntable. This means you can have perfect matching for each deck to extract maximum performance and then using the real time peak hold output level meters you can adjust the gain level to maximise signal to noise ratio whilst avoiding signal clipping.
The best part of all of this is that it can be achieved without moving from your listening position using the supplied remote control!
The Phono Signature can also be upgraded with the Cyrus PSX-R external power supply which powers the analogue signal stages further isolating them from interference.
The sound quality of this stage is fabulous and typically Cyrus at heart with taut, deep tuneful bass, open detailed mid-range and a great soundstage.
