Shinobu Karaki-san's new Masterpiece - Aurorasound VIDA Supreme

State of the art semiconductor design (LCR-type network), innovative technology and modular design combined with old-world craftmanship makes this phono amplifier outstanding in many respects, substantially surpassing the original and highly-decorated VIDA.

Key features:

• LCR type Phono Stage Amplifier

• Good resolution and low distortion in low frequency range, rich and massive middle, stable and delicate High.

• Useful functions for modern analog audio play back.

• Large size MUTE switch, Gain select, Stereo./Mono, Subsonic filter, Cartridge Degauss.

• Complete L/R independent design and construction for very good channel separation and 3D sound stage.

• Plug-In modules for matching with various kind of cartridges.

• [Standard Equipped]: MM and MC low impedance under 14ohm, RCA and XLR balanced input

• [Option] : Two slots

• Developed new amplifier module using made in Japan discrete transistors and FETs.

• High gain, low distortion, low noise, high drivability

• Special customized RIAA filter choke transformer , Lundahl (same with VIDA)

• Made in Japan audio grade oxide film registers, 1% error rate.

• Made in Japan audio grade Electrolytic capacitors, very stable and long life.

• High quality Polypropylene film capacitors, made in Germany.

• Use made in Japan high reliability relay switch for all signal path switching.

• Shaving solid RCA jacks with rhodium plating. Neutrik XLR connectors.

• Very ridged and heavy , all solid aluminum chassis to firmly supporting circuit boards.

• Carbone compositional foot insulators.

• External Power Supply Unit for eliminating noise influence of power transformer.

• Large size, large capacity Medical grade Troidal Transformer, L/R independent.

• New design power cable, Coaxial inverse winding OFC, Better sound resolution and clarity.
