At the heart of the Momentum C2 Preamplifier lies Dan D’Agostino’s revolutionary complementary four-circuit topology. This unique input stage circuitry sets a new standard for performance and precision, delivering unparalleled clarity and fidelity to your audio experience. Utmost attention to design detail ensures optimal mechanical and electrical isolation, guaranteeing pristine signal integrity throughout the critical preamplification stage.
Building on the legacy of the Momentum HD Preamplifier, the Momentum C2 topology utilizes an array of four JFET transistors in a complementary, differential, push-pull arrangement, dramatically increasing input impedance and reducing noise. Its unique, discrete dual-complementary differential JFET input stage achieves exceptional performance and stability in every system configuration.
For less-than-audiophile-grade recordings, transformative tone-control circuitry remains entirely transparent in its operation, ensuring zero impact on the signal path when inactive. Concealed behind a discreet door on the front panel, a headphone jack featuring independent amplifier circuitry opens the world of private listening at the most refined level.
