Trichord Research Ltd. Dino Phono stage with Toroidal PSU

Entry level audiophile phono stage with upgrade path

Price: £399.00

The Dino Mk2 is a high performance phono amplifier, designed for transparency and realism. It will maximise the performance of a wide range of quality cartridges from ultra-low output Moving Coils to high output Moving Magnet types.

An entire upgrade path exists with this product. You can start with the basic item with the small external toroidal power supply and work your way up to the Never Connected power supply complete with High Performance interconnect lead between the two.

The Dino is user adjustable with a set of four DIP switches on the underside of the unit for ease of access. These switches allow for adjustment of cartridge loading and gain setting. The circuitry is signal non-inverting and constructed using high performance, audio grade bipolar and JFET operational amplifiers, metal oxide resistors and ultra low impedance capacitors throughout for lowest possible noise.

The RIAA equalisation network is fully passive and located between two active gain stages. The capacitors and resistors used in this stage are very close tolerance audiophile types.

Two state of the art ultra low impedance, low noise wide-band voltage regulators are employed to power both channels and are largely responsible for the high sonic performance of the Dino.
