Katharina Phono MM/MC I - The flagship phono amplifier from Rike Audio

This exceptional phono stage inspires with a sensational, dynamic attack, wide bandwidth and bass of the absolute top class.

Outwardly a timelessly simple design, the true construction effort becomes apparent when the chassis is opened:
thick struts at the top and bottom, as well as the parasitic resonance rejection concept based on aluminium plates of different thicknesses.
Even the smallest details have been thought through in this phono unit.
This also applies to the many foot options, with which one can not only optimally adapt the unit to the installation location and the chain, but also, to a certain extent, realise one's own listening taste.
