IFI AUDIO ZEN PHONO 3 Phono Preamplifier MM/MC

IFI AUDIO ZEN PHONO 3 Phono Preamplifier MM/MC : Front view

With the Zen Phono 3, Ifi Audio brings us the latest iteration of their renowned range of phono preamplifiers. The Zen Phono 3 is a versatile, ultra-quiet phono preamplifier with multiple gain and impedance settings to suit all cartridges, whether moving-magnet (MM) or moving-coil (MC).

IFI AUDIO ZEN PHONO 3 Phono Preamplifier MM/MC : Without its case

Ifi Audio Zen Phono 3 : An exceptionally quiet amplifier

The design of the Zen Phono 3 has been designed with the reduction of any potential parasitic noise in mind. Indeed, the Zen Phono 3 integrates an ultra-quiet power supply isolated away from other components on the PCB, thus greatly reducing the background noise its proximity could generate. Furthermore, the power supply features Active Noise Cancellation II technology, which cancels all incoming EMI and RFI noise. As a result, the Zen Phono 3 boasts an IEN (Equivalent Input Noise) of -151 dBV.

Ifi Audio Zen Phono 3 : Distortion-free signal processing

As for the signal processing itself, amplification is handled by a low-distortion (0.0001%) custom OPA from the OV series. The Zen Phono 3's RIAA equalization circuit uses several TDK C0G capacitors in parallel, for greater stability and minimum distortion. This enables the RIAA equalization curve to have a tolerance of +/- 0.15 dB between 20Hz and 20 kHz, allowing you to listen to your records with greater precision than ever before.

Ifi Audio Zen Phono 3 : A versatile phono amplifier

To adapt to any type of cartridge, the Zen Phono 3 supports four MM/MC gain selections from 36 to 72dB and four input impedance settings. For gain adjustment, there's a selector on the rear of the unit, while impedance adjustment is via the front-panel knob. So you can experiment and find the perfect setting to suit your ears.

Ifi Audio Zen Phono 3 : An intelligent subsonic filter

Conventional subsonic filters are generally poorly appreciated by audiophiles because of the bass deterioration they cause. Since 2012, however, Ifi Audio has been developing its own subsonic filter, which uses artificial intelligence to distinguish the bass of the track from the parasitic hum that accompanies it. In this way, the original signal is left completely intact with no group delay.

Zen Phono 3 review by Audio Science Review (Amir)

" Measurements are very close to that of the original iFi Zen Phono but feature set is much expanded and Phono 3 is much prettier. "

Suivi de mon 1er post
Je plussoie et même plus 1 étoile. Nouvel essai avec ma Technics sl-1500c et cellule Denon dl110, une MC haut niveau, le prépré sur le gain 2 : La grosse claque jamais entendu un vinyle sonner aussi bien, on retrouve la dynamique du cd , bien timbré de haut en bas, transparent à souhait, franchement les British ont fait un prépré au rapport Q/P imbattable . Pas étonnant qu'il soit déjà en rupture de stock, soyez patient il vous le rendra au centuple... Bonne écoute à tous...

Aussitôt reçu aussitôt installé avec platine audio technica at lp 120xusb et cellule at 95 basique une galette test que je connais très bien dans différentes configs : Chico Freeman: "The Search".
Effet Waouh! quelle transparence et la dynamique digne de mon lecteur cd (Denon 110 anniversaire). J'ai oublié de préciser que le pré-pré est alimenté sur une batterie Antec 5V,5A et non sur secteur. Cela sur ma platine la plus bas de gamme. Je me propose de l'écouter sur ma Thorens td 126mk3 centenial cellule Sumiko Oyster Pearl, galette Sassy & Quincy "you're mine you", Superbement silencieux ce pré-pré , défini, la merveilleuse voix de Sassie m'envoute. Pour faire court 10 stars et devrait faire de l'ombre à bien des pré-prés +++chers.
Me reste à essayer mes cell. Denon dl-110 & 160 Mc high.
Mille mercis à Audiophonics pour sa célérité d'envoi, 10 stars
pour eux, un vieux client qui a encore de l'oreille!
