When developing their flagship phono preamplifier, VDH also redesigned the circuit board. With this new circuit board, the overall sound quality has significantly improved. The Grail SX delivers notable enhancements, particularly in terms of soundstage dimension and airiness.
The new Grail SX allows for mixed-mode operation of the inputs and outputs. When receiving a symmetrical (XLR) input signal, the output can be used simultaneously in symmetrical (XLR) and asymmetrical (RCA) modes. The same applies to the asymmetrical (RCA) input, where both outputs can now be used independently and simultaneously.
Similar to its predecessor, the Grail SX features automatic load impedance adjustment for cartridges, ranging from 10 Ohms to 400 Ohms.
To enhance user-friendliness, VDH replaced the switches with illuminated buttons. These buttons allow you to power the Grail SX on and off, as well as select between MM, MC, MC1 and MC2 options.
Like all other van den Hul products, the Grail SX is designed and manufactured in Europe.
