System components

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.

PHONOSOPHIE Impuls 1.5 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.
 

PHONOSOPHIE Bi-Amp 1-4 integrated amplifier
The first taste of Phonosophie's four channel bi-amping design, in a single unit. Huge reserves of power enable this amplifier to deliver the dynamics of music effortlessly, responding to every drum beat and guitar chord instantly.  Plug-in active modules can be specified to drive speakers from Linn, Naim and Phonosophie, turning the Bi-Amp into a one-box active amplification system.
