The ZEN Phono is an entry level phono stage with a
difference. Normally, phono stages add
excessive noise that hinders musical enjoyment. The iFi ZEN Phono is an exception to the rule due to its trickle-down know-how from AMR/iFi phono pre-amps. First and foremost, the noise floor is a whisper-quiet 90/96dB (36/60dB, BAL 2V/SE 1V, A-weighted) on MM/MC respectively.
It is also able to handle MM/MC cartridges from <0.25mV to >2mV to bring true high-end performance and flexibility to the entry sector. Finally, the ZEN Phono has the performance and the features not found in many other phono stages:
MM/MC-36dB >72dB gain.
Noise floor of 90/96 dB
