Aavik R-580 Phono Amplifier
The Aavik R-580 phono stage is delivering a impressive warm and huge soundstage with a maximum of details on an ultraquiet black background.
Ultra low noise – Maximum musicality
A true high end phonostage for those seeking excellence in vinyl replay
Technologies and Components
Lively and vivid performance.
The
Aavik phono stage has been developed to tease out the natural flow of
music that is so typical of a vinyl-based sound source. The extensive
research we invested in gaining a deeper understanding of the major
turntable and cartridge challenges shaped the platform for the
engineering solutions embedded in the Aavik phono stage. The key
strength of the Aavik RIAA is the sonic isolation of the ultra-low
signals that emanate from the vinyl source, and the filtering out of any
disturbing outside noise and vibration.
Separates
No compromise.
The
decision to build separate units reflects Aavik’s intent of space
management without any sonic compromise. Allowing sufficient space for
each segment, has also influenced the integration of a high-grade power
supply with a huge capacity and paved the way for an effective cooling
design.
By separating the individual units and redesigning them
in a totally isolated fashion, the Aavik series has gained in dynamic
momentum and a more expansive sound.
Copper chassis
The flagship 580 series are equipped with an inner chassis in solid copper. The effect of this is a further reduction in the hysteresis, which secures more energy and power to the music.
The Aavik RIAA / Phono stage
Lively and vivid performance.
The
Aavik RIAA section is based on a discrete, floating balanced, ultra-low
noise bipolar input circuit. The topology of a moving coil cartridge is
a floating balanced signal generator. Aavik has kept this topology
throughout the phono stage. The input circuitry allows use of ultra-low
noise bipolar transistors. By paralleling several transistor pairs, we
have created an absolutely quiet input section. The phono stage has 62
dB gain, and the cartridge loading is adjustable from 50 Ohm to 5 Ohm.
The *S/N ratio is 94 dB measured at 1 kHz.
The Aavik phono section will let you explore the amazing details and musical depths of your vinyl collection.

Cartridge loading adjustment
A perfect match for any MC.
To
get the highest efficiency from your turntable pick-up, the impedance
can precisely be adjusted according to the individual MC cartridge.
