Trichord Dino Phono Stage |
|||||||||||||||||||||||
 |
The Dino is a high grade phono amplifier,
designed for transparency and realism. It will maximise the performance
of a wide range of quality cartridges from ultra-low output moving
coil to high output moving magnet types. The Dino is user adjustable
with a set of four DIP switches on the underside of the unit for
ease of access. These switches allow for adjustment of cartridge
loading and gain setting. The circuitry is signal non-inverting
and constructed using high performance, audio grade bipolar and
JFET operational amplifiers, metal oxide resistors and ultra-low
impedance capacitors throughout for lowest possible noise. |
||||||||||||||||||||||
| The RIAA equalisation network is fully passive and located between two active gain stages. The capacitors and resistors used in this stage are very close tolerance audiophile types. Two state of the art ultra-low impedance, low noise wide-band voltage regulators are employed to power both channels and are largely responsible for the high sonic performance of the Dino. A DC servo circuit is employed to keep the output DC level to a minimum.
Dino shown with Dino+ PSU The upgrade path for the Dino phono stage consists of 3 optional add ons listed below. As with all ampification the purity and current quality fed to the phono stage affects the performance enormously and this is no exception. Upgrade options

Trichord Diablo MK II Phono Stage |
|
 |
The Diablo is user adjustable with a set of four DIP switches on the underside of the unit. These switches allow for adjustment of cartridge loading and gain setting. The circuitry is signal non-inverting and constructed using high performance, audio grade bipolar and JFET operational amplifiers from Analog Devices and Linear Technology. Metal oxide resistors and ultra low impedance capacitors throughout for lowest possible noise. The RIAA equalisation network is part passive and part active. The capacitors and resistors used in this stage are very close tolerance audiophile types.

| Four 'state of the art' ultra low impedance, low noise wide-band voltage regulator circuits are employed to power both channels and are largely responsible for the high sonic performance of the Diablo. The non-ferrous cabinetry is made of aluminium, a design that reduces Eddy current propagation that can affect sound reproduction dramatically. Three versions of power supply are available for the Diablo including a 'Never Connected' version.
