Vida MkII



In stock and on permanent demonstration the new Aurorasound VIDA MkII Phono stage. Utterly beguiling and incredible value for money
​
VIDA was released in 2002, after 10years now, its sound, performance and design are well evaluated, and recognised as an outstanding phono stage amplifier in world-wide. VIDA, LCR type equalization system by semiconductor circuit, this was the first approach ever, and still keep the distinguish position. Now, we would like to announce new version VIDA-MkII.
Exterior design is not so much changed, because this design is already perfect and no room for improvement. However internal circuit, PCB, specifications and sonic performance are refined.
​
Features
-
LCR filter type phono equalizer amplifier. L=inductor, C=capacitor, R=resistor.
-
To have ideal “L” of RIAA inductor, equivalent DC resistance factor is strictly selected to improve quality factor.Use 4 pieces L. 2 for high range compensation and 2 for low range compensation. Aurorasound logo printed special version made by Lundahl.
-
Aurora AMP module2 rev4.0, discrete precision and high performance same with VIDA-Supreme.
-
Optimized signal flow and path by eliminating a wire harness by new print circuit board.
-
Robustness chassis design against external radio noise and magnetic leakage.
​
By these changes, L/R channel separation is improved +6dB, this is double improvement.
THD+N, Total Harmonic Distortion + Noise factor is improved from 0.028% to 0.012%. Double improved.
Stability and reliability are improved for longer term life. Sonic perforce is enhanced. Fulfilling mid range, clear and tight bass, elegant high range with 3D stereo image.
​
Functions
-
Input section is changed from MC/MM to Phono-1/Phono-2
-
MC/MM selectable gain and load impedance for each inputs.
-
By this change, two MC inputs, two MM inputs or MC/MM inputs are selectable.
-
MUTE SW is changed to OMRON made, better touch and feel.
-
RCA jack, rhodium plated on solid brass. ( no changed)
-
Customized options are available, as well as VIDA.
