What is it? Who needs it?
The Cornet3 is a radical evolution of the highly acclaimed circuit I developed and introduced about a dozen years ago. If you are seeking top-notch electronics to bring out the best in your turntable and vinyl collection, look no further.
For those of you with moving coil cartridges, I am including the Piccolo2, a re-designed active head-amp with up to 26dB gain, built into a matching enclosure. The combination of these two units delivers absolutely fantastic performance. Of course, you can pledge for the Piccolo2 all by itself…
Cost?
I realize these items are not cheap, relative to most Kickstarter gadgets. However, you would have to spend well over $2000 to get the equivalent performance from anyone else in the industry. That makes the Cornet3 and Piccolo2 incredible bargains.
