What Hi-Fi? is no stranger to Cyrus Audio’s phono stages. We have been using the company’s terrific Phono Signature in our reference system for almost a decade, thanks to its excellent sound quality and useful range of features. So when the company launches the ambitious 40 PPA, we’re keen to have a listen.
It might be tempting to think of the Cyrus 40 PPA as simply the previous generation phono stage in a swanky 40 Series casing, but that isn’t fair. While the two designs are clearly related, Cyrus’s engineers have worked hard to improve the performance.
