Overview

Einstein's goal when designing The Turntable's Choice wasn't to convey warmth, resolution, tone or any other typical sonic describer. The design brief was to minimizes any impact whatsoever on the music signal. 

A true moving coil (MC) only phono amplifier, with two separate outboard power supplies feeding a fully discrete (24 hand selected single-transistors) amplifier section. The high gain, high signal to noise ratio design of this phono amplifier allows low output moving coil cartridges to really open up and sing. It will still work well with high output cartridges. The low impedance output stage and high power reserve allow long interconnects to be used without seriously degrading the signal.

The Turntable’s Choice chassis is also engineered to minimizes resonances and microphonic effects. The tube-shaped chassis allows for extremely short signal paths, which also aid the sonic qualities especially at such low voltage.
