Westminster Lab Monologue Phono Stage

$5,800.00

The signal from the stylus, whether it's MC (Moving Coil), MM (Moving Magnet), or even DS Audio, is incredibly delicate. As a result, it requires extra care and attention to maintain its musical integrity. Recognizing this, we have developed a whole new design philosophy for the Monologue. Our approach encompasses everything from the power supply design and selection of passive and active components to the overall architecture of the unit.

In typical passive signal handling components, there is a measurable loss when a musical signal passes through them. However, this loss is usually negligible because the signal is large and the current is high, making the slight loss insignificant. However, when it comes to vinyl, the situation is completely different.

To address this unique challenge, we have collaborated extensively with specialized manufacturers to develop a passive signal handling capacitor that exhibits a negligible loss even with the most minute signals. The result is an unprecedented level of immediacy in the signal and ultra-low distortion.

With our meticulous attention to detail and innovative design choices, the Monologue sets a new standard in preserving the subtleties and nuances of your music. Whether you're using an MC, MM, or DS Audio stylus, you can trust that the Monologue will faithfully reproduce your vinyl recordings with exceptional clarity and accuracy.
