Product Details
Description
The balance reference phono is the reference-tier expression of Clearaudio's balanced phono topology. Same fundamental architecture as the balance V2 — fully balanced, dual-mono, discrete, transformer-coupled MC inputs optional — with refinements at every stage: individually voiced FET input pairs, precision-matched components, and an outboard power supply chassis linked by a dedicated umbilical.
Best matched with a Statement V2 or Master Innovation system.
Available on special order.
