Phono stage design is rather challenging, as the circuit has to work with the minuscule cartridge signal that is typically only a fraction of a millivolt. That tiny signal has to be cleanly amplified a thousand-fold and equalised to the exact RIAA curve in order to faithfully represent the original recorded music. Vertere’s PHONO-1 is designed to achieve just this, providing the full enjoyment that is so often missing even in very high-quality vinyl playback systems. 

PHONO-1 has more than 10 gain settings to match the level perfectly for almost any cartridge. An extensive choice of 15 resistance and 9 capacitance settings ensure correct frequency balance even for most Moving Coils that commonly exhibit a frequency response lift above 10kHz. Compact foot print of the main circuit and the use of highest quality components, maximise dynamic range and deliver supreme detail resolution. 

Utilising only tight tolerance components for PHONO-1’s accurate IRAA circuit ensures a refined, natural timbre that brings the music to life. Vertere's use of the best components guarantees optimal performance from the double-shielded internal circuits, while a 3-way phono PCB Ground Management switch allows achieving lowest ‘earth hum’ in almost any installation. This level of attention to detail, performance and design execution is only found in much higher price products. Vertere PHONO-1 redefines the standard for entry level High-End phono stages.

 

 

Who are Vertere Acoustics?  

Vertere Acoustics’ ideology is simple and couldn’t be more true. It’s that any Hifi System is only as good as its weakest link. Everything, including the cables, tone arm and every part of their equipment, must be balanced and engineered with care, attention and passion, to get the absolute best from your favourite album.

Vertere engineers all of their products from the ground up, starting at the fundamentals of cutting and producing a record to get as close to the original recording as possible.

That may sound like a simple ‘less is more’ philosophy, but we prefer to look at it this way: the best audio equipment shouldn’t add anything to the original recording. Rather it should affect it as little as possible; bringing the listener ever closer to what the artist, producer and mastering engineer wanted you to hear.

Vertere Acoustics was founded by Touraj Moghaddam, designer of Roksan’s ever popular & infamous Xerxes turntable. Over the last decade, Touraj has been refining his designs to produce some of the world's finest turntables, with a frightening amount of time, effort and attention to detail put into each and every one.
