Moving coil and moving magnet support

The Well Tempered Phono stage is designed to accommodate both moving magnet (MM) and moving coil (MC) cartridges and has a maximum gain of 68 dB for MC cartridges with the gain switched for MM cartridges.

The necessary break points for the RIAA equalisation are distributed throughout the circuit in order to ensure optimum overall time response of the circuit as well as to ensure the necessary frequency response. Since the RIAA recording process requires that the treble frequencies be substantially boosted relative to the bass frequencies, control of the time response is an important requirement.

The MM/MC Phono circuit employs state-of-the-art operational amplifiers. Using these devices ensures a low noise, high gain, stable and predictable design result.

Free Turntable setup

We carefully set up every turntable and cartridge we sell. So if you're new to turntables or have decades of experience, you know you'll be getting the most enjoyment from your system. You can be safe in the knowledge that you can take your turntable home, plug it straight in and start enjoying good music without any worry of something being setup incorrectly.

Over the course of nine months, I listened to hundreds of albums on the Well Tempered Amadeus and my appreciation for it grew by the day. Slowly I came to appreciate all the subtle but well thought out design elements which have gone into the table, and the combination of seemingly bizarre elements which create a sound I have come to appreciate and love.

Even after four decades, Well Tempered shows with the Amadeus 254 GT that consistently being different is spot on. Be sure to try it.

I've been an audiophile for enough years to know that while there's plenty of great-sounding and -looking gear out there, it's no use to me unless it can make me feel something every time I sit down to listen. And Bill Firebaugh's strange and highly original record player is the most musically insightful and emotionally rewarding one I've lived with
