The 505 is Moonriver Audio's hybrid phono stage, combining low-noise IC op-amps with discrete solid-state circuits in a dual-mono layout fed by six separate power supplies totalling 70,000 uF of capacitance. Four inputs accommodate multiple turntables, tonearms and cartridges, and every adjustment — twelve gain settings from 34 to 72 dB, MM capacitance, MC and MM loading, and RIAA or Decca/Columbia 78 rpm equalisation — is made on the fly with dedicated knobs and switches. A microcontroller silently stores the chosen settings for each input and recalls them automatically, and the passive de-emphasis EQ is built from very low tolerance components. Designed and hand-assembled in Sweden, it wears the house style of oversized aluminium knobs and solid walnut cheeks.
