Upgraded Phono Stage, Cyrus 40 PPA, Strives to Enhance One of the Top Audio Input Circuit Performances of the Past Ten Years
The Cyrus 40 PPA, a new phono preamplifier, has been officially launched and is now available for purchase. This modernised device, boasting a half-width anodised aluminium chassis and a five-inch glass-fronted touchscreen display, is set to redefine the audio experience for vinyl enthusiasts.
The 40 PPA introduces several key features and improvements over its predecessor, the Classic Phono. One of the standout improvements is the ability to connect up to four turntables simultaneously, making it ideal for those with multiple vinyl setups. This versatility extends to cartridge compatibility, as the 40 PPA supports both Moving Magnet (MM) and Moving Coil (MC) cartridges on all inputs.
For MC users, the gain, load, and capacitance settings can be adjusted to optimise the performance of the cartridge. The power supply has been reengineered to reduce noise by 20%, and the redesigned flow of audio signal ensures a cleaner signal path, reducing electrical noise and hum. The power supply revision also allows for adjustment of gain in 5dB increments, providing greater control over the audio output.
The Cyrus 40 PPA offers flexible output options, with both unbalanced RCA and balanced XLR connectors for compatibility with various audio systems. It is also compatible with the outboard 40 PSU power supply, available for separate purchase.
The 40 PPA includes a remote control and an on-screen menu for easier cartridge configuration. A ground lift switch is included to prevent ground hum problems, and the device displays the level of signal output, helping users adjust the gain.
Cyrus Audio claims the 40 PPA to be "one of the best phono preamplifiers on the market, at any price!" However, we at [Your Publication] will be conducting a review as soon as a review sample is available to provide a comprehensive evaluation of the 40 PPA's performance.
In conclusion, the Cyrus 40 PPA offers significant advancements in both functionality and audio quality compared to its predecessor. Its versatility, improved circuit design, and quieter power supply contribute to a cleaner signal path, reducing electrical noise and hum, and providing greater flexibility for users with diverse vinyl setups. The 40 PPA is now available for purchase, with prices at £1995 / €2499 / $2899.
