PHONOSOPHIE No 3
turntable
The reference turntable from Phonosophie complete with factory-fitted Naim
Aro unipivot. With an
optional phono-stage fitted in the plinth, this highly articulate and musical
deck is the result of many years
of research and development by Phonosophie's founder, Ingo Hansen.
The P3 is
also available with tonearms from Phonosophie and Kuzma and the ideal
cartridge choice in all cases is the Phonosophie Flair moving coil.

PHONOSOPHIE Power Control 2
power supplies
A pair of these extremely stable 400VA power supplies run the turntable
motor and the on-board phonostage electronics. The high quality toroidal
transformers ensure the power feed is robust yet super silent in
operation. This results in a dramatic, inky-black silence on which to hear
every detail of the musicians' performance. |

cd player
An exceptional performer, the Impuls 1.5 reveals all the
subtleties of rhythm and timing in any cd collection. A huge step
forward in musical enjoyment yet still further upgradeable to the Impuls 2 or
3 models.
