About the Lino C 3.0
The Channel D Lino C 3.0 is a solid-state, battery-powered phono preamplifier that uses a direct-coupled, wide-bandwidth, balanced transimpedance circuit optimized for moving-coil cartridges. It features current-mode amplification, which improves cartridge damping and tracking by amplifying the current rather than voltage from the cartridge. The unit offers extremely high RIAA equalization accuracy (±0.1 dB from 20 Hz to 20 kHz), low distortion, and excellent channel separation (>80 dB). It includes galvanic isolation to minimize noise interference and can operate 'off the grid' on battery power for approximately 16 hours. The chassis is made of brushed aluminum with professional-grade Neutrik gold contact XLR connectors and vibration damping features. The Lino C 3.0 supports multiple gain settings to match various cartridge outputs and includes options for voltage-mode MC and MM inputs. It is designed for audiophiles seeking transparent, high-fidelity vinyl playback with the flexibility to connect to high-resolution analog-to-digital converters using selectable flat or RIAA outputs. The product comes with a 5-year electronics warranty and 3-year battery warranty.
