The power supply is a symmetrical discrete tracking power
supply using fast diodes and a low noise voltage reference.
Each stage has it’s own localised power supply, and LED
referenced current generators.
Very high quality, polyproplene capacitors have been used in
the signal path. 1% tolerance polypropylene capacitors are
used in the RIAA EQ stages and audio grade capacitors are
used in the rest of the circuit.
Installation
Ios will work well on most surfaces, such as a shelf or a table,
provided there is sufficient air around it to prevent overheating.
To avoid any possible magnetic interference and increased
hum levels, site the Ios as far away from the turntable as the
tonearm lead will allow. If possible, try to place Ios to the left of
the turntable. Ideally the equipment should be placed next to
one another in a line (Ios to the right). This keeps Ios’s most
delicate electronics away from other transformers.
Try not to stack other Hi-Fi components, (tuners, cassette
decks, power amps or CD players), on top of, or underneath
Ios. If this is unavoidable, use an equipment stand.
