We tested the original RS Phono stage back in HFC 368 and it’s an indication of how good it was that it still remains part of the Pro-Ject range. The RS2 arrives not to replace it, but to supplement it. This is a single-input design, but has been constructed as fully dual-mono from front to back. Input and output are via RCA and XLR and the RS2 builds on the original by moving to a discrete output stage with no op-amps in the circuit. This is combined with passive equalisation – something more commonly seen in valve-based designs – which Pro-Ject says increases the accuracy of the EQ curve. As the RS2 also has a Decca EQ setting built in, there are two separate circuits to allow this.
