The Cyrus 40 PPA is a hugely talented, upgradeable phono stage that is packed with useful 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. Best of all, despite delivering a deeply analytical view of the recording, the 40 PPA remembers to have fun. Add it all up, and we have no choice but to highly recommend this Cyrus phono stage.
