The Linn Uphorik Phono Preamp is a high-performance dual mono phono stage engineered with dedicated Moving Magnet (MM) and Moving Coil (MC) internal circuitry to extract every nuance from your record collection. Built on technology originally developed for reference Linn turntable systems, the unit employs separate, fully screened differential inputs that shield delicate audio signals from interference. Whether paired with classic decks or modern hi-fi setups, this phono preamplifier delivers clean, natural analogue playback across all musical genres.Tailored Precision for Any Cartridge:Every phono cartridge possesses distinct electrical characteristics, and the Linn Uphorik is crafted to adapt seamlessly to any setup. With extensive load resistance and capacitance adjustments accessible via external switches, you can effortlessly match the unit to your chosen MM or MC cartridge. This comprehensive adaptability ensures you achieve balanced frequency response, energetic dynamics, and realistic vocal reproduction as your vinyl library grows.Dual Mono Architecture for Exceptional Clarity:To eliminate channel bleed and preserve precise stereo imaging, the Linn Uphorik isolates the left and right audio channels on completely separate circuit boards. Driven by Linn Dynamik switch-mode power supply technology, the chassis effectively minimises background noise, hum, and electrical distortion. The precision-machined aluminum front fascia and solid enclosure dampen mechanical vibration, allowing subtle instrumental details and spatial cues to emerge with pristine clarity.Versatile Connectivity for Modern Systems:As high-end audio setups expand, connectivity remains essential. The unit features both unbalanced RCA and balanced XLR inputs and outputs, accommodating studio-grade balanced interconnects alongside traditional single-ended cabling. Available in sleek black or silver finishes, this standalone unit integrates smoothly into the finest audio racks alongside other reference phono preamps.Authorized Dealer:We are an authorized dealer for Linn. Purchasing from an authorized dealer gives you total peace of mind, expert guidance throughout your analogue journey, and the protection of a full manufacturer's warranty as you elevate your listening experience.Key Features: Dual Mono Topology: Isolates left and right channels to eliminate crosstalk and deliver expansive stereo separation. Dedicated MM and MC Circuitry: Optimises signal paths for both moving magnet and moving coil cartridges to provide clear, detailed sound. Configurable Gain and Load Settings: Allows custom matching for cartridge resistance and capacitance to extract the ideal tonal balance. Balanced XLR and RCA Connections: Provides flexible cabling options to minimise external hum across long cable runs. Linn Dynamik Power Supply: Suppresses electrical noise to let quiet acoustic passages and subtle micro-dynamics shine. Solid Aluminum Enclosure: Resists airborne and mechanical resonance while matching modern hi-fi components in either black or silver.
