Aries Cerat Talos MK2 is designed using transformer isolation of all cascades. The detailed performance characteristics of the device are as follows - Aries Feat Talos MK2 provides 62 or 80 dB gain coefficients, the noise level does not exceed -88 dB. The range of cartridge loads is endless, and all models available on the market are supported. MM heads with a very high output signal can be used without overloads.

    Aries Cerat Talos Sig

    Talos MKII Signature is a two-block phono corrector with a unique option of a step-up transformer for MS at the input, the parameters of which are selected individually for a specific model of the customer's MS pickup. The phono corrector is made according to a completely symmetrical scheme and has both unbalanced and balanced inputs and outputs. The input stage on the Siemens E280F pentode provides primary amplification of weak input signals with minimal noise. The input parameters of the phono corrector can be selected for a specific type of pickup.
