MANUFACTURERS’ COMMENTS

Paradox Phono 70 Signature

I would like to thank Michael Fremer for the review of the Phono 70 Signature.

I tell customers all the time that the sound comes from the parts and that the power supply is as important as the signal path. Circuits are for the manufacturers to hype: Look at us, we used way more parts than necessary! Quality parts and simple circuits are the key to great sound/phase integrity, as the review testifies. Regarding the looks: We think what’s inside is much more important than what’s outside. Customers are always telling me to put my electronics in—I made it myself—but there is useful information there about our circuits, parts, and product details that prettier sites will not share.
