After the release of its flagship, the phono preamp VIDA Supreme, the Japanese manufacturer launches a new high-end model: the phono preamp VIDA Prima, which integrates all the know-how and the true essence of Aurorasound. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn this project, the NF type and the CR in the RIAA compensation circuit were combined, in order to reproduce a rich and massive sound, with good SNR and THD + N factors. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eChassis - \u003c\/strong\u003eThe \"vintage\/modern\" look of Aurorasound devices is preserved: the aluminium structure is covered with a wooden 'shell'.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFront and back panel -\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eThe front part offers only a LED light as an ignition indicator and the 'big and famous' Mute switch. On the back we find the RCA inputs and outputs, as well as an IEC power socket. In addition, there are 2 rotary switches: the first one allows to select the MM or MC gain, at 40 or 64dB; the second which is able to select different load settings, MM, MC high level or MC low level. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn this way the use of this device has been simplified as much as possibile. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cb\u003ecircuit - \u003c\/b\u003eThe RIAA internal circuit combines the NC compensation with a CR type, in order to reproduce a soft but full-bodied sound, limiting distortion and favouring a good signal-to-noise ratio. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe components - \u003c\/b\u003eThey have been selected for their performance and musicality: with Texas Instruments semiconductors, WIMA film capacitors Made in Germany, Precision resins Made in Japan... \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"page\" title=\"Page 1\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"section\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"layoutArea\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"column\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"page\" title=\"Page 1\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"section\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"layoutArea\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"column\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSchotoky power supply - \u003c\/strong\u003eThis time the power supply has been placed inside the VIDA Prima, around a toroidal power transformer, with fast diodes, which generates a lot of energy but remains silent, guaranteeing craftsmanship but at the same time a certain quality in audiophile experience. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith this phono preamplifier, Aurorasound offers an high performance product that preserves its identity, and the typical philosophy of this company, at a simply incredible price. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInputs\/outputs: RCA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eImpedances: MM, MC high level, MC low level\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMM gain: 40dB\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMC profit: 64dB\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOutgoing imbalance: RCA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOutput impedance: 47Ω\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRIAA accuracy: +\/- 0.5dB of 20-20kHz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSwitch: Mute\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInput Noise: MC -134dBC, MM -134dBV\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTHD + N: MC 0.09%, 0.009%\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSize: W250 x D246 x H69\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: 2.2kg\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAurora sound at a glance.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAurorasound\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eis a company from Yokohama, Japan.
