Reference class phono preamplifier with unique impedance control

The Phono Box RS2 is the ultimate phono preamplifier of the highest class. It is fully balanced from the input to the output. Electronics are fully discrete, no op-amps are in use and it uses split passive RIAA and DECCA equalisation.

Discrete Circuitry

A discrete circuit is composed of electronic components which are disparate, individual devices, also called discrete components. These can be “passive” components, like resistors, capacitors and inductors, as well as “active” components, which in our case are transistors. The opposite to this would be an integrated circuit, which uses operational amplifiers (Op-Amps) in the signal chain. Countless hours of listening tests and years of experience have shown us that even the very best Op-Amps do not tend to be so neutral, natural, dynamic or vivid. Standard phono pre-amplifiers with integrated circuits have a few tens or hundreds of components, but discrete designs will employ hundreds or thousands of components by comparison. That makes for an extended and more costly design process, but results in the best sound for your money.

Fully Balanced

The Phono Box RS2 employs a true fully balanced design principle. Balanced transmissions consist of a hot and a cold (also called + and -) signal. Both the + and – signal chains effectively carry the same musical information. A true balanced amplifier can now extract the final musical information out the +/- signals and subtract, remove, all noise that could potentially be added along the transmission. In a true, fully balanced amplifier, like the Phono Box RS2, the + and – sections of both the left and right channel are treated individually, which doubles the amplifier sections by 2 as a result.

Split passive EQ

The Phono Box RS2 uses split passive equalization for both of its RIAA and DECA curves. This is more costly to design and implement but ensures the most accurate representation of the ideal EQ curve. Split passive equalization allows for better impedance matching and lower deviation from the ideal RIAA or DECA curve.

Extreme cartridge loading options

No other phono-preamp in the world has such fine options of setting the gain like the Phono Box RS2. Very large ranges from 40dB (voltage amplification by 100x) up to 70dB (voltage amplification by 3690x) are possible.

Load impedance can be set continuously via potentiometer, a system invented by Pro-Ject Audio Systems. It allows you to seamlessly adjust the impedance during playback and immediately assess the impact of different loading options.

Cartridges, by nature, suffer from small imbalances between the left and right channels. To correct this the Phono Box RS2 introduces a new feature that is absolutely rare in this price category. A potentiometer allows you to adjust the exact center of the sound stage in ranges of 2dB to the left or right.

Steel/aluminium chassis

The Phono Box RS2 has a steel chassis which is covered by screwed aluminium panels. This construction brings very good rigidity and splendid isolation against interferences.

It does quite lifters a little, not as much as I would like for my 4 cyclinder turbo engine

Fuel and repair costs are rising…
Why not make your (overpriced) fuel work for you? If you appreciate your internal combustion engine, and want to help avoid costly repairs or maintenance to your fuel injector system, you can! To be honest the quality of fuel is often questionable (I’m looking right at you, ethanol). Modern fuel injection systems are squeezed for every iota of fuel economy and performance. It makes sense to be a little proactive with the preventative maintenance, it’s just good sense. Adding Jectron to your fuel is a smart, and economical measure that you can take, to keep your injection system running as designed. It won’t damage your emissions components, it won’t harm your fuel systems more delicate parts (O-rings, plastic tubing, filters, etc.). There are plenty of great options out there, such as Chevron’s Techron, and a handful of other reputable products. I used to be a very strong advocate of Techron (it’s still my backup choice). However, after witnessing Jectron solve a battery of problems on a variety of vehicles, I’m a convert.
