New review: Aurorasound VIDA Prima in a Phono Stage Survey on Twittering Machines

Aurorasound VIDA Prima in a TM's Phono Stage Survey

Michael Lavorgna writes:

"...I enjoyed the VIDA Prima with the Ortofon 2M Black, finding it 'rich, detailed and—of greatest importance—well balanced'. Coupled with its retro-inspired looks, I could easily make it mine for the longer haul. When paired with the Denon 103, I fell even more deeply, as this couple made music sound even richer—as bold as love. While the 103 is not as detailed as the Ortofon, it injects a jolt of sonic energy into any music you ask it to play. Super addictive. If I list all of the VIDA Prima’s pluses, they make its $1290 asking price sound like a bargain..."

This delicious little phono amp is ergonomically ideal, comprehensively equipped, beautifully made and – as our review reveals – is as sweet sounding as deserved of the finest analogue systems.

New review: Aurorasound VIDA Prima Phono Amp reviewed by Twittering Machines

By Alfred Kainz | 17 March, 2023 | Read more

Michael Lavorgna of Twittering Machines writes:
"...I listened to lots of records through the VIDA Prima and as the review period was coming to an end I made sure to hit a bunch of highlights for purely selfish reasons, namely pleasure. Paired with the Michell/Ortofon/Leben/DeVore system, the VIDA Prima lit up the Barn with sounds as sweet as honey all rich, detailed and—of greatest importance—well balanced that puts all of one’s attention front and center on the performance unfolding right there in front of you. From small and intimate to large and boisterous, the VIDA Prima did music proud..."

MSRP is $595 each.
