The Vertere Calon dual-mono phono stage marks a thrilling and groundbreaking chapter in Vertere Acoustics’ pursuit of flawless record reproduction.

This entirely new and meticulously optimised approach to preamplifier design is a game-changer for your listening system. It elevates your analogue source’s performance to previously unimaginable levels of detail clarity and sonic excellence.

Drawing on their fundamentals-focused audio design philosophy, Vertere has crafted this high-end phono stage to enhance the performance potential of every component in the signal chain.

Two separate gain stages, pre and post linearisation, offer unparalleled control over signal clarity and detail resolution.

A dedicated LF filter moderates wasted energy and headroom from subsonic noise, allowing your analogue source to perform at a whole new level of finely tuned efficiency.  Furthermore, granular impedance and capacitance control ensures Calon works harmoniously with virtually any MM or MC cartridge.

Beneath its non-magnetic stainless steel chassis, two identical gold-plated four-layer PCBs deliver flawless dual mono performance. This results in jaw-dropping new dynamics and musical expression.

The Vertere Calon is the new beating heart of your analogue source, transforming your system’s ability to deliver breathtaking musical magic.
