Bipolar Phono Stage (BPS)

The BPS is the latest addition to the prestigious range of Nagra high-end phono stages. Using transistor technology and equipped with a battery power supply, has led to a very compact and affordable phono preamplifier, wile maintaining the traditional Nagra quality.

The BPS works with either moving magnet (MM) or moving coil (MC) cartridges using a custom wound transformer,  as in the PL-P pre-amplifier and VPS phono stage. Taken from the concept of the VPS, the BPS also uses adaptive loading circuits built onto small additional boards. By inserting these circuits, six of which are delivered with the unit, the input impedance of the BPS can be altered to match your phono cartridge, thus achieving the optimal balance for reproducing your vinyl LPs.

Its very compact size reduces the cartridge cable length to a minimum, thus reducing the risk of interference through this very sensitive link.
