VENDETTA RESEARCH

Every effort has been made to achieve the most linear open loop circuitry possible. The symmetrical cascode pre-preamplifier stage consists of a direct coupled push-pull complementary FET folded cascode pair that is effectively a single stage of amplification. The RIAA equalization is completely passive, located between the first and second stage. The second stage is an all FET complementary symmetrical folded cascode FET design, also operating without overall global feedback. FETs were chosen because they are inherently quieter than tubes, which is a great advantage in a low noise phono stage. The output is through both single ended RCA and balanced XLR connectors...
