It is now ten years since the PLINIUS Jarrah was introduced. It is hard to believe that this venerable Phono Preamplifier has held its position as one of the top phono preamplifiers available, virtually without change for that period of time.

The interest in vinyl reproduction is showing no hesitation and with such a strong demand for phono based systems it is time for the PLINIUS Team to introduce a dedicated phono preamplifier in line with our current thinking.

This is the first product developed by PLINIUS with market input from our new European distribution team.

Obviously any new PLINIUS product has to be compatible with our new look and the new KORU Phono Preamplifier is presented in the Ross Stevens inspired curved chassis, with a slight twist. The chassis is actually two-in-one, allowing physical separation of the power supply from the amplification circuitry.

The power supply has received very detailed attention and boasts a virtual battery approach with over 100,000 micro Farads of capacitance and very sophisticated 2 stage regulation. This ensures the lowest impedance and consequently extreme accuracy of power delivery to the amplification stages.

The amplification and equilisation circuitry is specific to the new Phono Preamplifier and uses the latest components ensuring accuracy and longevity. Low output moving coil cartridges as well as higher output moving magnet types can be used and there is a full range of user adjustments available on the rear panel.

Both Single Ended and Balanced Output signals are catered for and with passive high frequency and active low frequency equilisation the PLINIUS KORU Phono Preamplifier will maintain stability and finesse under the most demanding conditions.

Musically it is more revealing and will move you closer to the event than before. Details and images seem to float and the depth and ambient retrieval is a revelation.

Available in both Black and Silver, the PLINIUS KORU Phono Preamplifier is set to become a classic and will be a very worthy successor to the mighty Jarrah.
