It's all about the phase
"A brand from Japan with a totally focussed drive to minimise phase error."
Phasemation at Winters Audio
BACKGROUND AND CONTEXT
Phasemation is the hi-fi audio brand name of Kyodo Denshi Engineering Co., Ltd., Japan. The word phasemation was created by combining Phase and Information and comes from the Company's view that the fundamentals of hi-fi audio is to reproduce a realistic soundstage from a left and right two channel system. And in order to achieve this, the phase characteristics between the channels must be matched as closely as possible. Phasemation was created specifically in pursuit of this goal.
"The technological root of our company is to develop and manufacture electronic measurement instruments. We are an engineering company in pursuit of development for full automation autonomous driving technology, using our core technology. Therefore, we are in a position to be able to utilize our most advanced technology for development and manufacturing of exquisite hi-fi audio equipment where accurate phase characteristics are required. Important technical elements such as phase characteristics, circuit technology and vibration control technology are required for the stereo system. Using our technology for all these elements, our ideal stereo system can be created and manufactured."
Cartridges
Phasemation has a long and strong reputation for building cartridges. They released their first MC Phono Cartridge called P-1, back in 2002. Since then they have continued to expand their range with many exceptional designs.

Cartridges That Sing
-
The cartridge technology on offer here is a brilliant combination of low-microphony bodies and exceptional magnetic circuit and cantilever design.
Zero Feedback Topology
-
A fundamental feature of the brand is the avoidance of negative feedback. Instead, circuit components of far higher quality and tighter tolerances are used.
Impeccable Construction
-
Construction that not only looks crisp and precise, but that provides casework with multi-layer screening for incredibly low pickup of background interference.

The Winters Audio Experience
moving the analogue goalposts
Japanese hifi brands have a special place in out hearts at Winters. TAD is glorious, and so to is Phasemation – it follows that no-compromise, precision engineering ethos that is immediately apparent as soon as you see, touch and listen to this gear.
Their cartridges are sublime, and offer a fascinating alternative to the more familiar established European brands. And the Phasemation phono stages open the window to vinyl replay in a way that few others can match.
