The quality of your phono stage, offered by the Michell APOLLO is what ensures the integrity of the music. 


The true allure of vinyl lies in the richness and warmth of analogue sound. To fully appreciate every detail and nuance, the right equipment is essential. While a premium turntable, tonearm, and cartridge are vital, the quality of your phono stage, offered by the Michell APOLLO is what ensures the integrity of the music. 

MUSE Power Supply

The MUSE power supply is designed as an independent unit to optimise the power provided to the APOLLO system.

  • Mains Power Management: MUSE uses a high-quality low noise toroidal transformer, advanced capacitance multiplier technology and very high-quality voltage regulators, to reduce ripple and noise, delivering two highly filtered and regulated DC outputs.
  • Dual Filtration: It works in harmony with APOLLO's internal power supply for superior filtering and regulation.
  • Noise Isolation: By housing the transformer separately in MUSE, any noise generation is isolated from the amplification circuits.

The result is a clean, stable power source that enhances the performance and precision of the amplification stages.

APOLLO Phono Stage

APOLLO utilises state-of-the-art technology to deliver exceptional audio performance.

  • Pure Power: APOLLO’s inbuilt power supply circuitry works in harmony with the MUSE power supply to further refine and regulate the DC power from MUSE. Creating extremely clean and stable power for the amplification stages.
  • High-Quality Preamplifiers: Borrowing technology typically used in professional microphone amplifiers, the class A preamplifiers ensure precise signal handling.
  • Passive RIAA Circuit: Signal rectification is achieved via a finely tuned passive RIAA circuit, preserving fidelity.
  • Class A Gain Stages: Subsequent amplification stages utilise class A circuits for clean, accurate sound reproduction.
  • Regulation and Feedback: Each stage is monitored and controlled using feedback circuits to guarantee consistent performance.
  • Customisable loading and gain settings: Enables you to tailor APOLLO to your cartridge requirements. Giving broad cartridge compatibility.

Precision Engineering

Both MUSE and APOLLO boast enclosures machined from solid aluminium in a two-part tight fitting clam shell design.

This approach ensures:

  • Noise Isolation: Minimising interference both internally and externally.
  • Compact and Robust Construction: Small, yet meticulously crafted for durability and precision.

Audio Quality Cabling

The external DC cable connecting the units is a custom-designed, high-quality audio cable, made in the UK.

It features:

  • High-quality Silver-Plated OFC Copper Conductors: Ensuring an optimal signal path and durability.
  • FEP Insulation: Aids DC signal transfer.
  • Cotton Fibre Wrap: Reduces mechanical noise.
  • AL-foil Mylar separators: Shields the individual conductors to maintain signal quality.
  • High-density Tinned Copper Shielding: Minimises signal loss from high-frequency interference
  • High Quality ChorAlloy Plated XLR Connectors: Provide high pressure multi pin connections and reduces cable impedance changes by maintaining cable structure at termination. Maintaining overall signal integrity.

Testimonials

Bought some Rega Kyte speakers, stands and chords from DB online and they were incredibly helpful. They updated my delivery address very quickly and recommended a longer cut of cables which they did complimentary. They also noticed I didn’t order with banana plugs so called me back to double check, which I did mean to order. When i had some issues connecting my cables and speakers, I called for some advice which they happily gave. Excellent service and next day delivery to London. Thoroughly recommend.

Probably one of the best companies in the world. They had to special order in the speakers which took a fair bit of time, which is totally understandable, but they kept in touch with me throughout the entire time with updates (even on a Sunday!!!) and once the speakers were with them, they were dispatched and arrived next day.

The entire sound system that I purchased is insanely good, but still not as good as Doug Brady HiFi!

I have recently purchased a HiFi package with Doug Brady and I could not be more thrilled with my experience with them.
When I walked into the store, I was made to feel welcome and was introduced to some of the products. I produces a list of specific items I was interested in and John was really helpful in showing me these items. He set the system up so I could experience it, he made some suggestions which made the package even better. Nothing seemed too much trouble for him, he was very knowledgeable about the products and gave great advice. I didn't feel pressured to buy anything, or didn't feel that he was upselling at any point. I left with an amazing package and I'd like to thank John and the team for the fantastic experience.

It’s now two weeks since I bought home my new system and I wanted to say thanks again for all your help, advice and guidance, not to mention cups of tea. I now have a system that meets all my requirements and sounds fantastic. Special thanks to Jon, who I hope is on the road to recovery from his operation and to Roger, who helped me finalise my choice. The Rega Saturn, Hegel H190V and Dali Rubicon 2 is undoubtedly the best system I have ever owned.
