Magnifier Phono Stage and Preamplifier
The Thales Magnifier is a reference phono stage and fully featured preamplifier designed around an uncompromising analogue signal path. Its fully balanced Class A architecture operates without negative feedback, while RIAA equalization is implemented using ironless inductors rather than capacitors. Two configurable phono inputs support a wide range of cartridges, complemented by two line inputs for additional analogue or digital sources. The amplifier, separate power supply, and remote control are all housed in precision-machined aluminium.
