Proces­sing the delicate phono signal is one of the biggest chal­lenges that amplifier designers have to face. The Tango Reference NEO’s new reso­nance-optimized and anti-magnetic chassis is made of solid aluminum block. The phono amplifier features an over-dimen­sioned power supply with toroidal trans­former that is located on a separate board to ensure absolute current stabi­lity. Both assemb­lies are moun­ted on a special shiel­ding steel plate to avoid any inter­ference with the phono signal. The Tango Reference NEO consists of indivi­dually selec­ted high quality compo­nents. It’s semi-active RIAA equali­zation achieve extremely precise values with a maximum devia­tion of less than 0.1 dB from the ideal curve. An elabo­rate single-ended output stage desig­ned in Class A guaran­tees minimal distor­tion and very low hum and noise. The Tango Reference is a perfect base for high-resolu­tion, fasci­nating 3D-imaging and invol­ving musica­lity of the phono signal.
