The PH6 is a hybrid phono stage with a low-noise, high-gain JFET input stage with constant current stabilization and no overall feedback. Unlike its predecessors, the PH6 incorporates two high current 6H30 twin triodes in the gain and output stages; you can expect over 4,000 hours from the PH6’s tube set. Total gain is 58dB, more than sufficient for low output moving coil cartridges when ...[more]

The invention of Digital Room Correction (DRC) is one of the most significant improvements to sound reproduction for decades.

JS1: "The development of the sound stage is magnificent." - Patrick Vercher et Jacques Vallienne. The power block contains several circuits. The analog stages are designed with ECC 88 triodes in differential mounting, and with the ECC 802S in cathode follower. The direct heating of the filaments, which allows a reduction of background noise, is achieved through another circui...[more]

This digital converteris available in stainless steel or in black. It has three function switches on its golden brass front plate : for turning on, for absolute phase inversion and for switching sources. The power supply is assured by two moulded EI-type transformers. The conversion board contains a Cristal SPDIF decoder ref. CS8412, and a digital/analog converter fCS4328 functioning in sigma/...[more]

PRIME IIa gives you Theta's famous programming on upgradeable ROM chips, and a powerful computer to do the work.Like the Generation Va, it comes balanced, and has the same innovative balanced-to-single-ended summing network. This sophisticated technique gives you most of the advantages of balanced operation even in single-ended mode. "Space, dimension and musicality are reproduced superbly. Pa...[more]

The DS PRO BASIC IIIa was designed to come as close as possible in sound to the Generation Va, while adhering to a more modest price, The Basic IIIa shares the balanced and balanced-to-single-ended concept with the Generation Va. It even uses electronic switching. A lot of the cost savings is from being in a single chassis rather than the triple internal chassis of the Generation Va. ...[more]
