Groovester: Your vinyl reproduced with style
ULtra low-Noise MOVING MAGNET PHONO STAGE
Who says that being an audiophile means only enjoying what you hear? The full sensory experience is what creates emotion, that is why what you see and touch is also important.
Introducing GROOVESTER, a phono stage designed with care and style by NERENEAS.
Besides its state-of-the-art performance and design, GROOVESTER stands out with its stylish looks that will guarantee it to be the looker in your hi-fi rack.
But it’s not all form and performance with the GROOVESTER, it’s also the plethora of features that solidifies its royalty status. Inside its small form factor, flat enclosure, lies an linear regulated power supply that includes a custom made toroidal transformer. This power supply is used for the analog signal chain and also for the digital control circuits. All the switching inside the machine is done by relays, thus ensuring that the input signal suffers no loss or added noise.
The gold plated front panel boldly hosts two touch buttons that enables the selection of one of the two gain settings and the muting of the signal chain.
On the back of the machine we can find the fully balanced XLR inputs and output but also a single ended, unbalanced, RCA output. The input capacitance is selected via a 3-position switch, which enables a small, large or no capacitive loading of the phono cartridge. Please take into account that the cable capacitance is adding to the extra capacitive loading provided by the GROOVESTER.
If your turntable doesn’t have an XLR output, don’t worry, it’s perfectly normal. RCA to XLR cable is included with the GROOVESTER.
