Today we are starting to take orders for the new Integration upgrade to the Reduction phono preamp. This upgrade is similar to the old Seduction C4S upgrade for the retired Seduction phono preamp that Reduction has replaced, but more sophisticated. Along with the four C4S active loads that the Seduction C4S upgrade had, the Integration also installs a zener shunt voltage regulator. So you get not only a darker background, more gain (from 36dB up to 40dB) and a sense of better bass dynamics -you also get that interesting sense of extension at both the bass end and the treble end along with the sense of quickness that a shunt reg can impart.
Reduction already sounds better than Seduction did by a good margin. Integration will take it even farther. The upgrade kit price is $179, but we are offering a pre-release special price of $149. As soon as we begin shipping the price goes up. The manual is being written this week, so that price jump is not too far in the future.
