The Project Tube Box S2 Phono Stage is the next-generation tube phono stage in Pro-Ject’s S2 range. It provides an upgraded version of the original design and the best possible sound from your vinyl with the warmth characteristic of valves. It is a proper high-end solution in a small enclosure.
Tube Box S2 is the first from Pro-Ject to use a fully discrete circuit design, thus eliminating all its operational amplifiers. It also introduces a system that allows the user to change tubes for tube rolling and different sound signatures. Thus, one can enjoy various sound options and even tune the sound signature to his liking.
Revolutionizing Your Vinyl Sound
The Tube Box S2 is as good in all listening areas as expected from a high-end tube phono pre-amplifier with a much higher price. It covers MM cartridges and comes with different gain settings to select for the front panel.
Five variable input impedance settings are available to meet the needs of any MM cartridge. This accounts for the fact that the 47k ohms input impedance setting cannot be altered when using high-output MC cartridges. The aluminum and metal sandwich casing is the same as on the DS2 line, and it is safe against vibrations and electromagnetic interference for high-quality sound.
Small Size, Big Success
Small or large, the Tube Box S2 is undoubtedly an industry leader. It was initially intended for larger systems, such as home cinema settings. But it is also suitable for a home stereo system or other small setups. The main objective of the gadget was to deliver high-quality audio. In addition to that, it was also envisioned to appeal to various visionaries who like different styles.
