Seven Phono Stage

The Seven Phono is a new design with many unique design features. Like all Tron products it relies on the vacuum tube for providing amplification. I am not going to extol the virtues of this method of amplification over solid state but I have found it to produce the most natural presentation of recorded music. I guess that¹s why all the top musicians still use valve amps for recording and why recording engineers still use valve/tube microphones when recording. I have kept the stages in the Seven to an absolute minimum and have selected valves/tubes that are easily obtainable, giving the potential owner the option of using his or her favourite brand. The Seven can come set up either for moving magnet or moving coil cartridges. The coil option has 2 levels of gain:
1) for cartridges with an output of 0.3mV to 0.7mV, or
2) for cartridges with an output of 0.1mV to 0.3mV.
Either of the options can be specified at the making stage.
