Thrax Cotys – Redefining Phono Preamplification
The Cotys shatters conventional design barriers with a fully balanced, LCR-based RIAA equalizer, meticulously engineered to extract every nuance from modern high-performance moving-coil cartridges. Its differential input stage – optimized for the balanced topology and ultra-low impedance of moving-coil systems – works in concert with nano-crystalline inductors to establish an unprecedented standard: vanishing noise floors meet explosive dynamic range, revealing subtleties in both vintage vinyl treasures and contemporary audiophile pressings.
By completely reimagining the input stage architecture, the Cotys transforms the inherent advantages of moving-coil cartridges into a revelation of purity and precision.
The Cotys employs a nano-crystalline inductor in its first correction time constant, integrated into the initial gain stage to reduce noise contribution by 3–6 dB over conventional designs. By adopting fully balanced operation, it eliminates ground loops and extraneous noise—a critical advantage in modern systems where turntables often rely on switch-mode motor drives. The difference is not just measurable; it’s immediately audible.
Designed for the discerning analog enthusiast, the Cotys features two independently configurable inputs, accommodating a wide range of cartridges while delivering performance typically reserved for far costlier systems. Flexibility extends to connectivity: the circuit is equally optimized for both RCA and balanced operation, with connectors customized at the time of order.
Control is intuitive, courtesy of a user-friendly touchscreen interface—simple enough for immediate use yet capable of supporting future enhancements.
Uncompromising Signal Integrity
Every component is selected for sonic excellence, including:
-
Copper and silver signal capacitors
-
Tantalum nitride resistors
-
Proprietary solder alloy for optimal signal path purity
The result? Reference-grade sound, backed by Thrax.
A Fusion of Art and Engineering
Housed in a solid, machined-aluminum enclosure, the Cotys is as indestructible as it is visually striking. Its design transcends mere functionality, bordering on high-end audio sculpture—built to last a lifetime and beyond.

FAQs
Please read our FAQ before sending us a message.
How is my order processed ?
Once we have received your order and your payment, we issue you an invoice that will be mailed to you with a reference number for your order. Once your order is ready : it will be dispatched to you with insurance and tracking number.
Which payment methos are available in the Online Shop ?
You can choose between Paypal, bank transfer or Credit Card. Please take in consideration that payment via bank transfer will slightly delay the processing of your order as we have to receive your funds on our bank account to confirm your order.
Why are there different estimated delays prior to sending for some of the products
One of the politics of Ana Mighty Sound is that every order is unique and made for a single customer. You will find next to each item an estimated delay prior to delivery. We will do our best to fulfill it before this delay (and most of the time we do).
Please keep in mind that we are a 100% human company working all over the Old World (Europe) and that we do commit to deliver you the best made / best quality product available, and to insure that : this can take some time.
Of course… some of our products are in stock !
Can I specify a courrier for my order ?
Yes you can ! Just drop us a line in the « additional remarks » of your mail order. This may add additional fees to your order. We can work with DHL, TNT, FedEX, UPS, French La Poste or Chronopost.
What if I have received the wrong item ?
In the very unlikely case this would happen just send us a photo of what you received and we will send you a courrier to fetch the item back. Once we have checked it out, we will send you the correct item.
My items are not up to specifications, what should I do ?
This is highly improbable as we use the most modern techniques to insure that our products are up to specs. In fact we even have a dedicated person checking that every single item is in perfect condition prior to shipping. Of course it can happen, but we doubt it seriously. In any case if you were bothered by something : just send us an email and we will sort it out with you.
I am very happy/disappointed with my order and I want you to know it ?
