The iFi Zen Phono 3 is a high-quality phono stage that combines advanced technology with analog warmth. This device accurately amplifies MM and MC cartridge signals, making them compatible with headphones, amplifiers, receivers, and speakers, and delivers faithful, detailed playback of records, from vintage LPs to modern vinyl. Thanks to its intelligent subsonic filter, the iFi Zen Phono 3 can distinguish between distortions caused by warped records and the low frequencies of the music, removing unwanted noise without compromising frequency response or introducing group delay, allowing listeners to fully enjoy the vinyl’s sonic fidelity.
The phono stage offers adjustable gain from 36 to 72 dB with independent load selection, enabling the perfect combination for a wide range of cartridges. Its high-tech 1.2 MHz clean power supply, combined with an ultra-low input noise of -151 dBV, ensures quiet, interference-free listening, while the RIAA equalization circuit, with ±0.15 dB tolerance from 20 Hz to 20 kHz and multiple parallel TDK C0G capacitors, guarantees stability and minimal distortion.
The construction and integrated technologies reflect the heritage of the parent company AMR, combining innovation with respect for analog tradition. The iFi Zen Phono 3 allows listeners to rediscover the magic of vinyl, from the initial crackle of the record to the rich timbre of voices and instruments, offering an engaging experience that bridges past and present.
