Cyrus 40 PPA Phono Pre-Amplifier

Cyrus 40 PPA Phono Pre-Amplifier

The Cyrus 40 PPA Phono Stage is the result of decades of experience and refinement in analog audio design. As Cyrus’ most advanced phono preamplifier to date, the 40 PPA is crafted with meticulous attention to both signal integrity and user flexibility. Every aspect of the audio path has been reimagined, with the ultra-sensitive phono signal paths carefully shielded from interference.

Housed in a sleek, brushed aluminum chassis from the 40 series, this phono stage delivers audiophile-grade performance in a modern, intuitive package. Whether you're a seasoned vinyl enthusiast or diving into analog for the first time, the 40 PPA transforms your turntable into a gateway to a deeper musical experience.

Flexible Cartridge Compatibility and Multi-Turntable Support

The 40 PPA Phono Stage offers total adaptability for both Moving Magnet (MM) and Moving Coil (MC) cartridges. It gives vinyl lovers the freedom to fine-tune gain, resistance, and capacitance for each input, optimizing performance for any cartridge. With four individual inputs, you can connect up to four turntables, tonearms, or cartridge combinations, and switch seamlessly between them.

This is ideal for audiophiles who enjoy comparing different setups or use multiple arms for varied playback styles. Each input can be configured independently, ensuring every connected turntable reaches its full sonic potential.

Precision Output and Dynamic Headroom

Built to accommodate different system configurations, the Cyrus 40 PPA Phono Stage includes both balanced XLR and unbalanced RCA outputs, making it suitable for any high-fidelity setup. Its high-capacity, low-noise DC power supply ensures a vast dynamic range, allowing for high signal levels without distortion.

Circuit layout and component placement are optimized for ultra-low noise and maximum headroom, preserving detail and depth in the music. The result is a clean, vivid presentation with impressive musical dynamics, whether you’re spinning jazz classics, orchestral recordings, or high-energy rock albums.

Advanced Features for the Ultimate Vinyl Experience

Beyond outstanding audio fidelity, the 40 PPA is packed with user-centric features to elevate the vinyl experience. Stereo output level meters with peak hold let you visually optimize gain for MC cartridges, while a warp filter reduces excessive bass movement from warped records.

A ground lift switch helps eliminate hum in complex setups. For convenience, the custom remote control allows users to access full setup and input switching functions—ideal for fine-tuning from your listening position. The phono stage is also compatible with the Cyrus 40 PSU, enabling power upgrades that further enhance performance.

Modern Design, Upgradeable Future

Elegantly housed in Cyrus’ signature 40 Series chassis, the 40 PPA features a 5-inch high-resolution TFT display with a toughened glass front panel and capacitive touch controls that remain hidden until lit. Built for longevity and future readiness, it supports firmware updates via RJ45 Ethernet or USB-A ports, ensuring your unit remains up to date with future enhancements.

Weighing 4.8kg and backed by a Cyrus warranty, the Cyrus 40 PPA Phono Stage offers unbeatable value and versatility for the dedicated vinyl listener. When paired with the Cyrus TTP Turntable, it delivers a truly immersive, precision-driven analog experience.
