Cyrus 40 PPA Phono Preamplifier

The Cyrus 40 PPA is the brand’s most advanced phono preamplifier to date, drawing on decades of analog expertise and pushing performance even further than its highly regarded predecessors like the Phono Signature and Classic PHONO. Built to celebrate and surpass everything that came before, the 40 PPA combines cutting-edge circuit design, ultra-low noise performance, and unmatched user configurability—making it a true reference-grade component for serious vinyl lovers.

🔷 Highlights

🔹 New Six-Layer PCB Design

Completely re-engineered from the ground up, the 40 PPA features a six-layer printed circuit board that isolates sensitive signal paths to virtually eliminate interference. The result is astonishingly low noise—bringing your records to life with the highest possible fidelity.

🔹 Improved Power Supply with 20% Less Noise

A newly developed internal power supply delivers a significant 20% noise reduction over the Classic PHONO, further improving transparency and musical detail. For even greater performance, the 40 PPA can be paired with the optional Cyrus 40 PSU.

🔹 Precision Gain Adjustment

Gain settings for each input are now adjustable in accurate 5dB steps, enabling precise matching with a wide variety of Moving Magnet and Moving Coil cartridges. Stereo peak hold meters on the display help you optimize gain levels with confidence.

🔹 Remote-Controlled Configuration

No more back-panel guesswork. Virtually every setting—from cartridge loading to input selection—can be adjusted via remote and viewed in real-time on the unit’s glass display. Make system tweaks without leaving your listening chair.

🔹 Connect Up to Four Turntables Simultaneously

Whether you’re a collector, a reviewer, or just love to swap tables, the 40 PPA can accommodate four separate turntables at once. Each input is independently configurable, and both XLR balanced and RCA unbalanced outputs are provided for maximum system compatibility.

🔹 Advanced Features for Ultimate Vinyl Playback

Includes a built-in warp filter to clean up low-frequency rumble from warped records, a ground lift switch to eliminate hum, and configurable MC inputs for load, gain, and capacitance matching.
