Description
The LOC (Library of Congress) phonographic playback system was developed over years of extensive listening tests on every circuit element. Millennia maintains a world-class mastering / listening room, designed by top acoustical consultants Studio 440. With both analog and digital auditioning paths, every Millennia circuit is scrutinized for musical realism and dynamic uniformity. Only those circuit designs meeting our obsessive commitment to sonic purity are released to production. The LOC was designed under contract for the U.S. Library of Congress, who use multiple LOC units for national archiving.
LOC's front-end phono stage is based on the HV-3 double-balanced preamplifier used for recording nearly half of all Hollywood feature films scores (Titanic, Star Wars 1-3, Tarzan, Schindler's List, Forrest Gump, Contact, AI, Armageddon, etc..). Leading acoustic music recording companies, such as Telarc, Sony Classical, Harmonia Mundi, DMP, Nimbus, Five-Four, Chesky, BMG, Koch, Klavier, and scores of others rely on HV-3 preamplifiers. The major symphony orchestras and operas of Los Angeles, San Francisco, Berlin, Cleveland, Seattle, Dallas, Israel, Prague, Baltimore, New York, and National (DC) employ HV-3 preamps, as do scores of others. Top live performers like Barbra Streisand, Celine Dion, Andrea Bocelli, Rolling Stones, and Bruce Springsteen use hundreds of HV-3 preamp channels in concert, as do the Academy Awards and other top global broadcasts.
LOC's compensation and filter circuits are based upon Millennia's industry acclaimed NSEQ-2 mastering equalizer. The NSEQ-2 has been chosen by a broad cross section of today's top mastering engineers. The NSEQ-2 and LOC employ a unique, non-textbook "single amplifier" design to achieve all signal-path functions, including input buffer, EQ amplifier, and output driver. This single amplifier is optimized via a pure Class-A, all discrete J-FET topology. Employing what top audio engineers call "the most transparent analog equalizer" available today (NSEQ), the LOC delivers what may be the most perfect phono path available at any price.
Modern professional audio products are major investments which must be carefully designed for longevity and non-obsolescence. With mastering-grade sonics and specifications, military design and build quality, and a pedigree in the highest tradition of audio excellence, the LOC is destined to remain contemporary well into our new millennium.
