It took over three years of painstaking research, engineering, listening, and refining, before Cary Audio was ready to release the PH-302 MkII. But now that it’s here, even the most demanding record enthusiasts will realize this exotic unit is dedicated to nothing short of incomparable vinyl playback.

The PH-302 MkII is a vacuum tube design utilizing four 6SL7 dual triodes. The RIAA equalization curve is derived from a passive RC circuit located between the two gain stages. The PH-302 MkII is supplied with a regulated power supply to ensure an extremely quiet operation. The MC section uses two very high quality step-up transformers. They provide enough gain for use with any MC cartridge and with an extremely low noise floor. It is perfectly matched to any of the high-end Cary Audio integrated amplifiers or preamplifiers.

For the analog lover the PH-302 MkII is a magical blend of art and technology that will add to your music listening enjoyment hour after hour.
