Description

The In The Groove phono stage was designed by Pathos for discerning vinyl listeners. With its two-part housing and versatile options, the Italian engineers have conceptually designed it as a universal phono stage.

Both resistive and capacitive loading can be selected in six steps directly on the solid front panel. This allows the user to ensure that the In The Groove harmonizes perfectly with the connected turntable. Furthermore, there is a control on the rear panel that allows the gain factor to be adjusted in four steps.

Thanks to the maximum gain stage of 62 dB, even exotically quiet cartridges can perform at their best with the In The Groove. The linear multi-voltage power supply is housed in an elaborate casing, which guarantees a good signal-to-noise ratio and high immunity to interference, even in technically challenging setups.

To ensure the connected system benefits from this quality, there is a balanced XLR output available in addition to the RCA output.

Equipped in this way, this phono stage is practically begging for intensive voyages of discovery through your own record collection. Because in truth, there is often more in vinyl than one might think. Or more precisely: In The Groove.
