             Tube Phono Stage With Crosstalk
Reduction Circuit


      One perfect demo available for $1199.00


Underwood Hifi Inc. is glad to introduce the Jolida F159 phono preamp. The F-159 is the first new product in the Black Ice Audio line. Jolida will be changing their name to Black Ice Audio thru the rest of 2018 as each new product arrives under that brand.

The
F159 is a superb phono stage that competes with others selling for
double its price. It includes a $350.00 XT-R crosstalk reduction circuit
as well as all new Jim Fosgate designed circuitry. It handles moving
magnet as well as moving coil cartridges and offers superb performance
for the money. They are available in black only per the photo

                                           State of the art Phono stage

Back Story of the F 159: The author of the F159 is Jim Fosgate. Foz’s
electronic design experience and excellence spans decades and coupled
with Jolida’s decades of manufacturing experience, results in a unit
which can provide our customers with a distinct improvement in turntable
sound reproduction at an affordable price. In addition the phono
pre-amplifier has a Fosgate designed Crosstalk Reduction Circuit (XT-R)
which represents a distinctive electronic approach to solving crosstalk
caused by a turntable’s cartridge and acoustic problems due to axial
tilt. We have placed the name F159 to honor the designer who has built
and tested 158 prototypes until finalizing his work in the 159th
iteration.


Black
Ice’s Audio F159 Phonograph Stage Tube Pre-Amplifier is an example of
state-of-the-art vacuum-tube technology as it exists today. This product was
designed to provide:

1) a Phono Stage that would deliver musical accuracy 

2) a significant value based on a high
performance to price ratio and

3) a vacuum tube unit that would exceed the
reliability of solid state units.

The F159 is housed in a heli-arc welded
chassis and uses 2 6922/6DJ8 tubes. Parts quality is the best
currently available, and the overall circuit layout is maximized for sonic
purity.
 

 

Another major feature of the
phono stage is the inclusion of the XTR circuit or Cross Talk Reduction
circuit. To obtain high performance from a modern phonograph system, the
tonearm and pickup cartridge must be properly adjusted to within a few
thousands of an inch to minimize the effect of axial tilt. Axial tilt is when
the cartridge needle of the turntable is not perpendicular to the record
groove. In addition, a low dB channel separation of the cartridge can result in
crosstalk. Crosstalk is simply the stereo signal from the left side leaking
into the right side, and the stereo signal from the right side leaking into the
left side. Jim Fosgate, has designed an elegant electronic circuit to
compensate for crosstalk and axial tilt. The XT-R represents a breakthrough
since axial tilt and crosstalk is not mitigated thru the traditional method of
physical adjustment, the compensation of the XT-R is electronic. The XT-R
incorporates signal cancellation to reduce inter channel crosstalk. This is the
same technique that is used in high separation surround processors. The XT-R
corrects for a misaligned stylus or cantilever, misaligned generator,
misaligned tone arm azimuth (axial tilt). It also reduces crosstalk from cross
coupling of the generator coils or tone arm wiring. This circuit  works with moving magnet, moving iron, and
moving coil cartridges. The XT-R will compensate for up to 7 degrees of axial
tilt and can improve channel separation to a maximum of 48 dB. The result will
be an improvement in stereo imaging and clarity without any sacrifice in
smoothness.
