Cyrus 40 PPA Phono Pre-Amplifier

Product Summary

The Cyrus 40 PPA is a high-performance phono pre-amplifier designed for serious vinyl playback systems. Part of the Cyrus 40 Series, it represents a complete redesign of the company’s phono stage architecture and is engineered to extract the maximum detail, dynamics and musical realism from vinyl records.

The 40 PPA supports both moving magnet and moving coil cartridges and features four independently configurable phono inputs, allowing multiple turntables or tonearms to be connected simultaneously. Each input can be individually optimised with adjustable gain, loading and capacitance settings to match the characteristics of the cartridge.

A newly designed six-layer circuit board layout helps isolate sensitive analogue signals and reduce noise, while the internal power supply delivers improved dynamic range and signal clarity. Balanced XLR and unbalanced RCA outputs ensure compatibility with a wide range of hi-fi systems, while the optional Cyrus 40 PSU external power supply upgrade can further enhance performance.
