INTRODUCTION
The function of a phono pre-amplifier is to
match the output from a pick up cartridge to
the input of a line level amplifier. It is required
to amplify the very low signals produced by the
cartridge and also to equalise the frequency
curve in accordance with RIAA record cutting
standard.
Moving coil (MC) and moving magnet (MM)
cartridges require different types of phono pre-
amplifiers to achieve optimum performance. The
Aria uses two separate circuits dedicated to both
moving coil and moving magnet cartridges and
avoids compromises.
The Aria is an "all analogue amplifier" with no
digital control circuitry. The fully aluminium case
screens the internal circuit from any stray RFI
signals.
We have avoided including any superfluous
gadgets as they obstruct the signal path and
degrade the sound quality. The Aria incorporates
remarkable and innovative design ideas. These
innovations are described more fully in the
technology section of this manual.
Alternatively, you can simply switch on, sit back
and let your Aria sing for itself.
