Aric Audio Super Dual-Chassis Tube MM Phono Preamplifier

Specs include a 47 kOhm input impedance, selectable 100pf/600pf capacitance, up to 45 dB variable gain, and a 300 Ohm output impedance. The Aric Audio Super MM Phono Preamplifier is a hand-built, point-to-point wired tube phono stage engineered for high-end vinyl playback. It utilizes a two-chassis design with an over-built outboard power supply connected via a pure copper umbilical cable to isolate the delicate audio signal from transformer noise. The power supply employs tube rectification and a toroidal transformer, while the signal chassis uses two shielded 12AX7 tubes for passive RIAA equalization. Premium components are utilized throughout, including an ALPS Blue Velvet control and Duelund silver hybrid output coupling capacitors.

Audiophiles and reviewers consistently praise this boutique preamplifier for its exceptional sonic performance and stunning build quality. Listeners report that it reveals an incredible range of harmonics, rich tonal colors, and an expansive soundstage depth. Reviewers highlight the unit's remarkably low noise floor and lack of hum, allowing for immense micro-detail retrieval. The consensus celebrates its fluid dynamics and the effortless, silky warmth that characterizes top-notch bespoke tube engineering.

Integrating an artisan component like this into your analog system bridges the gap between listening to a record and experiencing a live musical event. The variable output level control ensures flawless source matching with your existing amplifier, while the dual-chassis isolation keeps your music pure and free of electronic glare. Because each unit is handcrafted with an uncompromising layout, it offers a level of liquidity that assembly-line gear cannot replicate, making it an essential upgrade for extracting maximum fidelity from your moving magnet setup.
