THÖRESS Phono Enhancer MKIII

Yes, the unit is fully compatible with both MM and MC cartridges. It offers 45 dB of gain for MM and 65 dB for MC, ensuring it can handle a wide variety of turntable setups.

Point-to-point wiring is a labor-intensive construction method that eliminates the need for printed circuit boards. By soldering components directly to one another, the signal path is kept as short and pure as possible, which helps preserve the texture and integrity of the audio.

The device features two independent volume knobs—one for the left channel and one for the right. This allows you to fine-tune the balance between your speakers manually, which is particularly useful if your room acoustics are slightly asymmetrical or if your cartridge has a slight channel imbalance.

Yes, the Phono Enhancer MKIII is equipped with three dedicated phono inputs. This makes it an excellent choice if you run multiple tonearms or turntables, as it allows you to switch between them without needing to unplug and reconnect cables.

Negative feedback is often used in amplifiers to lower distortion measurements, but it can sometimes make the sound feel sterile or compressed. By using a zero-feedback design, the THÖRESS prioritizes a more natural, dynamic, and open sound profile that many listeners find more engaging.

While it is a high-performance phono stage, it also includes three line-level inputs. This allows you to use the device as a preamplifier for your digital sources, such as a CD player or streamer, alongside your turntable.
