SUTHERLAND DOS LOCOS transimpedance phono preamplifier

El último y más ambicioso de los preamplificadores SUTHERLAND es DOS LOCOS un diseño de trans impedancia en dos monoblocks que utiliza una topología de modo de corriente donde el Cartridge MC percibe una impedancia de cero Ohms eliminando los ajustes de carga resistiva tradicionales porque el circuito de trans impedancia amplifica la corriente generada por el Cartridge MC en lugar de su voltaje y el sistema se autoajusta magnéticamente de forma óptima, así se logra una dinámica y detalle superiores al no haber una resistencia de carga que "frene" el voltaje, el generador MC se desplaza con amortiguación electromagnética perfecta, logrando graves más controlados y transitorios más rápidos, más un fondo ultra silencioso, entre otras ventajas del diseño Sutherland Engineering, como lo destacan las criticas recientes.

“Paired with the right cartridge, the Dos Locos is an extraordinary performer. Its tone has the purity of fresh snow, and it manages to sound highly resolved yet, at the same time, unstressed and relaxed. It's as quiet as any phono stage I've encountered, framing its sonic capabilities in an even more dramatic way. This one sings! – Michael Trei, Stereophile.

“Listening, I marveled at how much more vivid, dynamic, and downright liquid the Dos Locos sounded compared to the Little Loco I'd lived with. The newer phono stage sounded not like an improvement on its predecessor but like a completely different paradigm, with particular attention paid to musical acuity, ease of engagement, and sheer pleasure. In purely sonic terms, too, it was hands-down better in every single parameter.” – Alex Halberstadt, Stereophile.

“Throughout my recent months with the Dos Locos I’ve been struck by how different in character the Dos Locos sounds from my previous transimpedance preamps. It still has the impossibly wide soundstage, the jet-black backgrounds, and I can’t stress this enough - the feel of just so much aural information pouring out of the speakers. But it does so in such an alive, deep, easy, beautiful, liquid, and profoundly dynamic way that I’m concluding two important things – first, that Ron Sutherland has hit an absolute home run with the Dos Locos, and second, that this one isn’t going anywhere, it’s replacing and thoroughly outperforming the TZ Direct in my system.” – Stephen CP Carroll, Tracking Angle
