Description
APOLLO / MUSE
For discerning audiophiles, the true allure of vinyl is in the richness and warmth of analogue sound. To fully appreciate every detail and nuance, the right equipment is essential.
While a premium turntable, tonearm, and cartridge are vital, the quality of your phono stage is what ensures the integrity of your music.
The combination of APOLLO and MUSE redefines phono stage performance. By focusing on precise engineering, innovative power management, and premium components, this system ensures audio clarity and fidelity for vinyl enthusiasts.
The MUSE power supply is designed as an independent unit to optimise the APOLLO system. The result is a clean, stable power source that enhances the performance and precision of the amplification stages.
APOLLO utilises state-of-the-art technology to deliver exceptional audio performance. This approach ensures noise isolation, with compact and robust construction. Small, yet meticulously crafted for durability and precision.
Both MUSE and APOLLO boast enclosures machined from solid aluminium. Specially designed as precise, two-part fitted clam shells. The external DC cable connecting the units is a custom-designed, high-quality audio cable, made in the UK.
APOLLO Phono Stage
- Pure Power: APOLLO’s inbuilt power supply circuitry works in harmony with the MUSE power supply to further refine and regulate the DC power from MUSE. Creating extremely clean and stable power for the amplification stages.
- High-Quality Preamplifiers: Borrowing technology typically used in professional microphone amplifiers, the class A preamplifiers ensure precise signal handling.
- Passive RIAA Circuit: Signal rectification is achieved via a finely tuned passive RIAA circuit, preserving fidelity.
- Class A Gain Stages: Subsequent amplification stages utilise class A circuits for clean, accurate sound reproduction.
- Regulation and Feedback: Each stage is monitored and controlled using feedback circuits to guarantee consistent performance.
- Customisable loading and gain settings: Enables you to tailor APOLLO to your cartridge requirements. Giving broad cartridge compatibility.
MUSE Power Supply
- Mains Power Management: MUSE uses a high-quality low noise toroidal transformer, advanced capacitance multiplier technology and very high-quality voltage regulators, to reduce ripple and noise, delivering two highly filtered and regulated DC outputs.
- Dual Filtration: It works in harmony with APOLLO’s internal power supply for superior filtering and regulation.
- Noise Isolation: By housing the transformer separately in MUSE, any noise generation is isolated from the amplification circuits.
Cabling
- High-quality Silver-Plated OFC Copper Conductors: Ensuring an optimal signal path and durability.
FEP Insulation: Aids DC signal transfer. - Cotton Fibre Wrap: Reduces mechanical noise.
- AL-foil Mylar separators: Shields the individual conductors to maintain signal quality.
- High-density Tinned Copper Shielding: Minimises signal loss from high-frequency interference.
- High Quality ChorAlloy Plated XLR Connectors: Provide high pressure multi pin connections and reduces cable impedance changes by maintaining cable structure at termination. Maintaining overall signal integrity.
