Project Tube Box S Turntable Pre-Amplifier (Black)

Product Information

Bass is better, with more punch and better decay on the notes. The sound stage is outstanding, you can close your eyes and easily visualize the position of each instrument as if they were right in front of you. The sound stage takes on a whole new dimension and invites deep listening. Vocals sound more natural, sibilants have improved and there is more detail on the higher frequencies without any audible harshness or distortion. In other words, it sounds more musical. New Mullard 12AX7 Tubes Ready to Go A box with the corresponding connections and a selector key would make the change between the two TTs.

The biggest advantage of owning the S2 model is how easy it is to switch tubes. All you need to do is to unscrew the protective housing and just wiggle out the tubes, and that’s it.

Gold-Plated RCA Connections:The Pro-Ject Box S is equipped with a pair of gold-plated RCA connections for the output stage and input stage. The gold-plate RCA connectors offer corrosion-free signal transfer. Talking about phono preamps, the Pro-Ject Tube Box S is an excellent choice of phono preamplifier that has been a buzz among music lovers and turntable fans. Features Pro-Ject Tube Box S2 and DS2 are both outstanding phono preamps. DS2 provides plenty of features that allow you to tailor the sound experience to your liking. Only the Tube Box DS2 has trigger input and output. The trigger input connection allows the preamp to be switched on or off from other Pro-Ject products equipped with trigger connections. Also, i’ve seen many tubes online with heatsinks wrapped around them so I also tries fixing some heatsinks to the sides of the tubes to help with heat dissipation. Some people seem to use a fan – but that seems counterintuitive as they do need the heat, right?

Subsonic Filter:The Subsonic filter (-12dB/octave @ 20Hz) helps to reduce low-frequency rumble and wasted amplifier power. The Subsonic filter dip-switch is located on the bottom of the phono preamp. a chip that acts as an electronic switch to select gain (Db), which can be viewed on the front panel illuminated with blue LEDs. As Herbie’s Fender Rhodes e-piano entered, the wider soundstage kind of tossed the piano around the room as it oscillated between both channels. As Herbie’s ARP PE-IV String Ensemble faded in, the value having a slight increase in depth became clear: the sound was larger and a little more expansive. One downside: the S2’s improved detail retrievel revealed the audible distortion produced by the Debut Carbon’s rather short 8.6” tonearm.Although this rumble isn’t audible, it can result in audible distortion, which no one wants. Pro-Ject put that on their mind when they manufactured both the Tube Box DS2 and the S2. If we have to compare the sound quality produced by both, DS2 has the upper hand here. Both models deliver outstanding sound experiences. Inductance is small, but we can't rule it out, based on how it interacts with resistors and different frequencies. that's why it's impedance, right? And then, it enters the debate of which load is better, that not all of us listen the same. We have to consider the physiological structure of our ears - no two are alike - the listening room, the speakers, among the factors to be evaluated. . It features RIAA equalization, switchable filters for rumbling effects for low-level sounds below 20 Hz, a switch for mute, and output for headphones with level control. It weighs approximately 2 lbs. (not exceeding a kilo), and has a compact structure with dimensions 6” x 2.5” x 5.4” (WxHxD). Being a premium preamplifier, all of its components are audiophile-grade for a breathtaking sound experience. This includes the tube output and polypropylene capacitors. What Are the Differences Between Pro-Ject Tube Box S2 and DS2?

As an example ,a friend of mine bought a pro-ject turntable to meet his 70´s turntables and he spent between the turntable itself and the stylus, 14.000€, in early 90´s Technics was selling it´s turntables for prices around 100€ with this quality of sound . The Bellari VP130 Tube Phono Preamplifier is a great option if you want a premium preamp that works excellently. This preamp has a beautiful shiny vintage red finish, curved edges, and intuitive controls. New Tubes: Whether you want to buy brand new or NOS, tube rolling is definitely the way to go if you want to fine tune to your specific tastes your system’s synergy.Tube Box DS2 provides two sets of gold-plated RCA inputs and outputs. This offers connections to two turntables simultaneously or two selectable line outputs. Now that you know the differences between the two preamps. Let’sunderstandw the similarities: 1. Tubes
