Equipped with the unmistakable ultra-compact aesthetics and the all-metal construction of the models in the Box Design DS2 range, the Tube Box DS2 is a very complete audiophile grade electronics equipped with vacuum tubes that puts the possibility of exploiting in the hands of the demanding user. , for a very attractive price, the potential of all types of pickup cartridges, both moving coil (MC) and moving magnet (MM). The key to all this must be sought especially in the exclusive circuit topology used, designed by the prestigious Dr. Sykora to, in combination with rigorously selected audiophile-grade discrete components, offer unprecedented levels of precision in an affordable phono preamplifier. democratic that, in addition, far exceed those offered by much more expensive models. A fully dual-mono architecture to maximize channel separation spearheads exceptionally quiet circuitry with high-precision RIAA equalization, featuring two ECC83 vacuum tubes, allowing the DS2 Tube Box to simultaneously deliver warmth, dynamics and high gain required by very low output moving coil (MC) pickup cartridges. The extreme flexibility offered by the Tube Box DS2 also speaks loud and clear the presence of a selected subsonic filter and the possibility of connecting up to two turntables, the latter option allowing the demanding user to enjoy two different sound aesthetics by acting on a simple button. .
