Product Description

Pro-Ject Tube Box DS2 


MM/MC tube phono preamplifier  
 

Premium phono preamplifier with tube output and highend sound!  

The Tube Box DS2 is an audiophile-grade phono pre-amplifier with a valve output stage. Taking over from the hugely successful Tube Box DS model, the DS2 expands on its predecessors ability both technically and aesthetically.

The sophisticated, dual-mono internal design benefits from the outstanding circuit technology developed by Dr. Sykora, and uses superlative components. Combined with the ultra-low noise specification and precise RIAA equalisation, the Tube Box DS2 is a meticulously designed device.

The Tube Box DS2 is compatible with both MM and MC cartridges, and is fully customisable for Gain and Capacitance settings, as well as boasting a continuously adjustable impedance dial taken from the flagship Phono Box RS that can be adjusted during playback. There is also a switchable subsonic filter, for greater room-matching abilities.

The Tube Box DS2 benefits from two selectable inputs and outputs, allowing vinyl aficionados to connect multiple turntables or tonearms to the input, and different amplifiers to the output. The Tube Box DS2 is a true vinyl lovers dream, allowing you to enjoy your records like never before.

About the brand

Pro-Ject Audio Systems was founded in 1990 in Vienna, Austria, by Heinz Lichtenegger - a young audio enthusiast who believed that analogue playback was the most cost-effective way to listen to music in audiophile quality.

Heinz’s belief in the importance of the turntable came to prominence during a time when vinyl was at death’s door - with the CD revolutionising the wider audio market. However, Heinz stood firm and argued the case for not only analogue replay - but also for the pride and sense of ownership and interaction you simply do not get with digital media. So with this belief, he produced his first turntable - the Pro-Ject 1.

The Pro-Ject 1 was a cost-effective true hi-fi turntable, made at a time when other manufacturers were reverting to cheap plastic alternatives in order to satisfy the dwindling demand. The 1 was made at Pro-Ject’s factory in the Czech Republic (SEV Litovel), at a time when the factory owner was just in the process of shutting down all turntable production. Heinz convinced the factory to make his products, and to this day the same factory is used to produce Pro-Ject’s extensive range of coveted hi-fi turntables.

From the Pro-Ject 1, all turntables - regardless of price - were made with the same basic principles:

Great Sound, Great Value, Ease of Use, Reliable Build
