The De Medici is
a MM and MC phono preamplifier with a very high acceptance able
to matchany kind of cartdrige. The De Medici sound is detailed and
delicate, very open and natural. It needs a quite long burn in to
extend its performances that actually are comparable with much more
expensive phono stage.
The De Medici chassis is a thick polished Alluminium cylinder with
a top and bottom cover made of 20mm thick polished black acrylic,
both these materials are particulary good to control and to dissipate
vibrations. Besides the cylindric shape of De Medici enables dissipation
of vibration and a very high structural rigidity.
The De Medici has got a very high acceptance can match "all"
the market cartdriges already at its standard setting. Besides this
phono preamplifier is provided witha special kit of 1% tolerance
metallic film resistors to fit even the more unusual and exotic
cartdriges presenton the market.
The back RCA connectors are especially designed to obtained the
best possible sonic performances. The input connectors are palladium
plated because they have been found better than the regular gold
plated ones during sound tests.
All RCA connectors have Teflon® dielectric for the best insulation
possible. The inside power supply is particulary well designed and
very large considering usual phono preamplifier uses much simpler
ones. The filter is made by 100000uF high quality electrolitic capacitors
by-passed with PTFe caps.
