Omni Gon The Final Phonostage
- Thread starter Syntax
- Start date
At first I had to fix the cabinet and structure, nearly all screws have been loose.
This is a primitive pre-fabricated case made of thin steel, only the faceplate and
backplate are custom made aluminium.
On one of the internal structures rubber spring mounts have been too weak and
had to be replaced. The mute switch was broken due to this and needed replacement.
One of the E80CC tubes was dead due to a bad filament soldering at the base. The
socket went hot and the tube was destroyed.
Silver wires had to be checked, soldering silver to a different metal seems to be a problem.
Contact integrity of switches was good.

The Name is Evocator, a 2 Chassis unit which has some influences (from the sonic goal) from the Omnigon.
A different unit from layout but good enough to bite the bullet...
Here is the official Hong Kong High End Show 2019 invitation video.
Innovation for High End
There are not much Designers out there who got that merit.
Wait a minute, then it starts....

I am using the Opus 120PH from Wall Audio and I am relay happy with this great tube phono stage. I found some pictures from an Acoustical Systems Evocator phono stage what is offered for 10 times more at a forum thread @ hiendy. This unit is offered in HK for 415.999$. Inside it looks relay close to the Wall Opus 120PH. It seems that the Opus 120 has all 3 tube boards in one chassies. The tubes used inside the Opus 120 are:
Tube Phono: 6 x ECC82, RCA Output
Tube Output: 2 x ECC82 Mono/Stereo, Phase 0/180° switch
Tube Power Supply: 1 x ECC82 | 1 x EF80 | 1 x 6C19 | 1 x EZ80/EZ81
Maybe some knows how the boards are fitted with the tubes inside the AC Evocator phono stage. There is a small difference at the inputs. At the front they look also similiar. The position and the funktion of the switches are nearly the same and has the same poisition. It looks realy realy close so may it the same manufactorer behind this units?

This units were also manufactored in switzerland under a name McKinnie ro. Reza Oskoui was a former technican working for John Curl and was allowed to use the cirquit design for his own named McKinnie ro phono stages. In the past they were offered in different configurations. As phono incl. RIAA but mostly as a step up only. The basic info were also posted at a historik thread included a comment by J.Curl himself: https://www.diyaudio.com/community/threads/john-curl-mc-kinnie-phono-pre-preamplifier.78843/
The last McKinnie ro are openend designed and does not have a black box and are usefull. Still one of the best step up units if you need a higher impendanz like the one for Benz Micro Gullwing or LP cartridges.

HI Reinhard.
Do you havebthis Evocator phono stage and knows what tubes inside or you think to know what kind of tubes are insidenthe Evocator phonomstage? There is a big diffrrencembetween believing and knowing something. What was done or used i the past means not it is now the same.

Dear Reinhard.
You are taling of his pre name like you know him personal. If you do, please contact him and find put if you are wright.
I think the output stage in " his" line pre amp is different as in the phono stage.The E80CC coul not used 6 times in serie as the ECC82,tube. Also Verdier used in his phono stage some ECC tubes in serie for a low output.
I will be happy if I fould get more detailed oinfos about his phono stage. I am realy happy with the Wall Audio Opus 120PH.

I am not interested in contacting @ Acoustic Systems Mr. Brakemeier because of his EVOcator phonostage .
As written before I am happy with the Opus 120PH. It makes no sense contacting a company and not buying their products. I was only interested if they own the same design and hard ware. The price difference is realy amazing so I am not interested in a phononstage with a price tag of nearly 50.000$.

Dear Reinhard.
I realy do not understand how you think E80CC tube are used in a Wall Audio Opus phono stage. I have one and have no E80CC inside and also in the technical sheet no E80CC tube are mentioned. I am sure Mr. Wall did not agreed using E80CC if they are not in his phono stage. Sounds realy strange what you write. If you have a Evocator in front please open it and shiw some pictures from the inner cirquit design or a technical sheet where the tubes were mentioned.

Dear Reinhard. Could you please show me in the tech secs of the Opus 120PH where theE80CC was ued? Areyou a "supporter" of Brakemeier? If you know him well please ask for pictures of the inner parts and the tube list for his evocator. If this is not possible I will find a way to get this list. It is realy strange that companies out oftherange always a little guite given tech infos. I am sure the inner design is convenzional like ...
