Michell - Apollo - Phono Stage Powered by Muse

APOLLO utilises state-of-the-art technology to deliver exceptional audio performance.

Pure Power: APOLLO’s inbuilt power supply circuitry works in harmony with the MUSE power supply to further refine and regulate the DC power. Creating an extremely clean and stable supply for the amplification stages.

High-Quality Preamplifiers: Borrowing technology typically used in professional microphone amplifiers, the class A preamplifiers ensure precise signal handling.
RIAA Circuit: Signal rectification is achieved via a finely tuned passive RIAA circuit, preserving fidelity.
Class A Gain Stages: Subsequent amplification stages utilise class A circuits for clean, accurate sound reproduction.
Hand-matched components: We measure each capacitor to ensure it is within tolerance and only use matched sets within each unit, to achieve precise channel balance.

Regulation and Feedback: Each stage is monitored and controlled using feedback circuits to guarantee consistent performance.

The MUSE power supply is designed as an independent unit to optimise the power provided to the APOLLO system.

Mains Power Management: MUSE uses a high-quality low noise toroidal transformer, advanced capacitance multiplier technology and very high-quality voltage regulators, to reduce ripple and noise, delivering two highly filtered and regulated DC outputs.

Dual Filtration: It works in harmony with APOLLO's internal power supply for superior filtering and regulation.

Noise Isolation: By housing the transformer separately in MUSE, any noise generation is isolated from the amplification circuits.
