Housed in a non-magnetic, resonance-damped enclosure designed to minimize micro-vibrations and electromagnetic interference, the R-288 provides specialized input stages for both Moving Coil (MC) and optical phono cartridges, allowing audiophiles to extract maximum detail and emotional connection from their vinyl collections.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCentral to the performance of the R-288 is Audio Group Denmark’s advanced Ansuz noise-suppression suite. Featuring a dedicated array of 72 active Tesla coils, 144 active square PCB Tesla coils, and 6 analog dither circuits, the unit actively neutralizes voltage spikes and ambient RF interference. Coupled with selectable gain settings and extensive input load resistance adjustment, the R-288 ensures pristine signal integrity and precise RIAA curve equalization.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eKEY FEATURES \u0026amp;
