DESCRIPTION
I have a stunningly designed, world class, high-end Tube Phono Preamplifier with LCR RIAA equalizer by THAX that I‘m selling on behalf for my client due to ill health over recent years, it has had little use, is in mint, unmarked condition and comes with the original wooden shipping box.
Mono & Stereo Editors Choice Award - reviewer’s comment:
“If you lusting after a phono preamplifiers with true ultra high-end DNA, crazy amount of R & D, great functionality and with the sensible pricing, Thrax Audio Orpheus is leading the game, again, by fa”r.
“Thrax Audio strikes with unique realism in transcription and this is the key word I noted down repeatedly in my listening sessions. No matter the genre it was a shared highlight of a grand scale”!
“Thrax Audio Orpheus phono preamplifier shines with the torch of the the natural light. Nor saturated melahonic light. Nor modern led overly exposed lighting. What happens with the rendition of black vinyl via Thrax Orpheus is a palpable audio showcase of the ear catching sublime reconstruction anchor points…..I’m sure anyone making it so far through the review, recognised the real unique position of the Thrax Orpheus. This is by no means your ordinary phono preamplifier. It conjures with the signal coming in from the cartridge with the delightful pace, rhythm and timing (PRaT) that can actually follow the music. We can often read about so called holographic sound stage, spatiality, transparency, there dimensionality, etc. Yet, what is the reality when you put such assumptions to a stress”?
“Orpheus combines impressive amount of anchor points with intricate dynamic simplicity. I really cannot strap the sole labeling on to it. Its complex setting. There is no juxtaposition with Orpheus. It mates with the music for what it its and reacts in the modus of spot on timbre, color and pace. There is no flyaway to the over natural side which to oquickly resolve in hiss phenomena, as there is no not even a trace of lurking into the false tube pretentious character misuse. This is where Orpheus vividly follows Rumen Artarski determination for perfection and implementation of the renowned Thrax Audio DNA. Thrax Orpheus and Thrax components are able to create such a closed, objective loop”.
