Aurorasound VIDA 2 Phono Stage

£3,949.95

After 10 years on the market Karaki-san released a new, improved version of his outstanding, highly praised phono stage - the Aurorasound VIDA Mk.II. 

The exterior design has not changed much. Internal circuit, PCB, PSU, specifications and sonic performance have been refined. Among other things the L/R channel separation improved +6dB, THD+N factor improved from 0.028% to 0.012%, new amp modules (gold-plated, developed for the VIDA Supreme), inputs for 2 MC or 2 MM cartridges at the same time (or 1 each) and the US version now comes standard with a 6 position impedance selector switch for MC on the backside.

State of the art semiconductor technology (LCR-type network) and innovative technology combined with old-world craftmanship makes this phono amplifier outstanding in many respects.

Key features:

  • Adopted LCR type RIAA device. Unlike conventional NF & CR type for RIAA curve, VIDA uses L (coil) to generate precise RIAA curve, resulting in much fulfilling midranges

  • With use of the latest semiconductor devices and discrete amplifier circuit, it achieved a complete DC circuit design. As a result, capacitors in the signal path were completely eliminated

  • High resolution in the low frequencies and reduced distortions, it enables you to enjoy vivid music hall atmospheres coupled with the players positioning on the stage

  • A large-size MUTE switch together with other functions are aligned in the front panel for improved man-machine interface for user-friendly operation

  • High S/N ratio was achieved with use of an external power supply unit, having extremely stable and super low-noise and high–speed circuits

  • Compatible with MC and MM type cartridges. High/Low Impedance Selector switch on the front panel.
