Icon Audio PS2 MM Phono stage

The PS2 is a “one box” simplified version of our award winning PS1, and therefore is excellent value. It is well know that valves can sound much better than transistors, this is especially so with LP reproduction. The LP was developed in the time of valves, and without the warmth and colour of valves, transistor phono pre amplifiers can sound uninteresting and hard to listen to.

Regardless of the other components in your system we guarantee an improvement in the listening quality of your LP records regardless of condition. A big advantage is the reduction in “perceived noise”, on worn /scratched LPs. (it actually measures the same, just sounds different).

We realised that not everyone with a modest LP collection can aspire to a “Hi End” phono stage, so we have kept all the important features of the PS1 so preserving the essential sound quality of a pure valve phono stage, at a price which compares with other “entry level” units.

The PS2 is hand built by the same team as the PS1 and PS3 using the same hand built methods that ensure the consistent quality that we are known for.

The circuit is essentially the same as the PS1 and PS3 with a simplified power supply. So it will have a very similar sonic signature
