SP-103
Phonostage
Signature Series
Possibly the last phono stage you’ll ever buy
Vinyl remains one of the most important and beloved mediums for audio reproduction. Thats why refinement and improvement of our phono stages is an ongoing concern at Vitus Audio. After completing redevelopment of our MP-P201 from the Masterpiece Series we turned our attention to the SP-103 and decided to introduce a raft of improvements introduced in that project to our Signature Series phono stage.
Experience resolution, micro dynamics, macro dynamics and pure musicality, unheard of in any other phono stage at this price point. This could be the last phono stage you ever buy.
Control at your fingertips
With the SP-103 we introduced a modular design allowing for future upgrades to be performed with ease. We also introduced an external power supply which offered a vastly lowered noise floor in the signal chain. For this iteration, we took everything we learned and developed for the MP-P201 Mk.II and optimised to fit the technology into a reduced chassis size.
Most importantly, all load and gain settings can be set via the optional remote control with no need to exchange boards manually.Quite frankly, this unit is a titan in the space of phono stages offering the blackest of black backgrounds from which your favourite recordings can emerge untainted and impeccable.
Finishing
The SP-103 comes in Black or Silver as standard. Titanium Orange, Dark Champagne and Titanium Grey are our most popular bespoke finishes.
