Perpetuating a long legacy of excellence in phono stages since the Nagra PL-P, the new Nagra Compact Phono offers the greater part of its predecessors’ quality and performance in a compact and elegant housing. The signal path has been simplified to the extreme to offer the quintessence of RIAA correction for the best MC cartridges.

Phono reproduction was at the heart of our very first Hi-Fi product, the Nagra PL-P.

Inspired by the legendary microphone preamplifier in the Nagra IV-S reel-to-reel tape recorder, the phono section of the PL-P received accolades from around the world.

The latest iteration is the Compact Phono. Housed in the same chassis as the Streamer, its solid construction protects it from unwanted vibrations. No compromises in sound quality were made to enable it to fit in the compact chassis. However, we have simplified the different settings and shortened the signal paths as much as possible. As a result, the Compact Phono offers amazing performance for a fraction of the cost of its competitors.

The Compact Phono features:

• Vibration-controlled housing, machined from a solid billet of aluminum
• MC input on 10 dB step-up transformer (same as Nagra VPS)
• Selected transistors operating in class A
• All discrete-component topology
• Dual-mono layout
• Selectable gain of 62 / 47.5 dB
• RIAA curve
• 100 Ohm load (additional loads available from Nagra dealers)
• External 12 V DC power supply
• Ultra-high rejection ratio regulators coupled with dual-stage filter on internal power supply

“Oh my goodness! I always thought the HD DAC X was one of if not the best DAC I’ve heard. The new Reference DAC is livelier, more engaging with extreme detail and sound separation while retaining the silence and relaxedness that the HD DAC X was known to me. And the REF Amplifiers sounding lovely more of everything, bigger bass, more dynamics and micro details. The soundstage has expanded taller and wider. I’m hearing more music, no wonder it’s called Reference.”
