    Elevate Your Vinyl Experience with Precision

    In the world of vinyl, the soul of music lies in the details. The U-turn Audio – Pluto 2 Phono Preamp is not just an accessory; it is an essential component that brings life to the analog warmth of your records. This meticulously designed phono preamp is the result of passionate engineering, aimed to deliver the purest audio experience for vinyl enthusiasts.

    Craftsmanship Meets Innovation

    Housed in a sleek, fully shielded aluminum enclosure, the Pluto 2 stands as a testament to U-turn Audio’s commitment to quality and craftsmanship. Each unit is hand-assembled in Woburn, MA, ensuring that you receive an instrument fine-tuned for performance. The compact and visually appealing design fits seamlessly into any home setup, speaking volumes of the care taken in its construction.

    Exceptional Audio Fidelity

    At the heart of the Pluto 2’s superior audio performance lies an array of high-quality components, including WIMA capacitors and precision film resistors. Together, they contribute to an audio reproduction that is as true to the original recording as possible.

    Key Features for Unmatched Audio Quality:

    • Dual Gain Stage: With a boost from 36 dB to 41 dB, the Pluto 2 ensures higher output levels and reduced distortion, so your music always sounds its best.
    • Active Subsonic Filter: Low-frequency rumble is a thing of the past, thanks to the upgraded active subsonic filter that eliminates inaudible frequencies for a cleaner soundstage.
    • Redesigned Power Supply: The improved grounding scheme provides enhanced stability and performance, reducing crosstalk and improving the signal-to-noise ratio for a pristine listening experience.
    • RIAA Equalization Network: Accurate playback of vinyl records is guaranteed with the Pluto 2’s precise RIAA equalization, ensuring your music sounds the way the artist intended.

    Compatibility and Flexibility

    Understanding the diverse setups of vinyl lovers, the Pluto 2 is designed to be universally compatible. Whether you use a U-turn turntable or an Emotiva TA-100 with a phono input, connecting is a breeze. It’s also suited for both moving magnet (MM) and moving coil (MC) cartridges, offering flexibility for different audiophile preferences.

    Tailored Listening Experience:

    • Cartridge Input Capacitance: With a recommended range of 100pF to 200pF, the Pluto 2 is optimized for a broad spectrum of cartridges, ensuring maximum compatibility and audio fidelity.
    • Adjustable Gain Settings: Fine-tune your listening experience with built-in adjustable gain settings, allowing you to personalize the sound to your unique taste.

    A Design That Protects Your Music

    The fully shielded enclosure is not just about aesthetics; it’s a functional fortress that protects your music from interference and noise. The precision-machined details reflect U-turn Audio’s dedication to providing a product that excels in both form and function.

    The Story Behind the Sound

    Every vinyl record is a story etched in grooves, and the Pluto 2 is the narrator that brings it to life. From the moment the needle drops, the Pluto 2 translates these grooves into a soundscape that envelops you, transporting you to the heart of the performance.

    Highlights of the Pluto 2 Preamp:

    • Enhanced Stability and Performance: The redesigned power supply and grounding scheme ensure your music is always delivered with clarity and precision.
    • Inaudible Frequencies Attenuated: With the active subsonic filter, your sound reproduction is more accurate, free from the distractions of low-frequency noise.
    • High Signal-to-Noise Ratio: Enjoy a clean and clear sound, thanks to the high SNR that minimizes background noise.
    • Low Total Harmonic Distortion plus Noise (THD+N): Distortion is significantly reduced, allowing the natural sound of your vinyl to shine through.
