VLCR MK2 tube phono stage

The VLCR MK2 stands as the reference achievement in the Remton Audio lineup, designed to provide the purest possible bridge between a high-end cartridge and your amplification system. By replacing traditional feedback-based equalisation with a precision passive LCR (inductive-capacitive-resistive) network, the design eliminates phase shift and signal non-linearity, revealing the hidden layers of your finest pressings. Crafted by Alexander Remmer in Prague, this flagship model serves as a masterclass in minimalist audio engineering. It utilises four matched ECC81 vacuum tubes in a strictly zero-negative-feedback architecture, ensuring the signal path remains as transparent and harmonically complete as the original recording intended. The sonic character is defined by a rare combination of physical authority and liquid, organic fluidity. It creates a vast, three-dimensional soundstage where instruments are rendered with tactile presence and realistic scale. Far from the analytical or clinical performance of some modern solid-state designs, the VLCR MK2 provides an emotionally immersive experience that remains fatigue-free during long listening sessions.
