The 40 PPA takes the fundamental greatness of the original Phono Signature and updated Classic PHONO, and manages to extract a small but meaningful amount more from the design while bringing the interface and aesthetic bang up to date.

Review news and reviews
40 PPA (AV Forums – English)
The team down at AV Forums have released the first review of the 40 PPA phono preamplifier, and we could not be happier with the outcome. A solid 10/10 and ‘Best in Class’ award has put a massive smile on the whole team at Cyrus!
Classic AMP (StereoNET – English)
The Cyrus Classic AMP is an excellent amplifier at its price; it sounds just about as good as anything else you can buy for this money – and has the benefit of lovely build quality, slick and compact packaging, a great MM phono stage and a decent remote control.
40 AMP (Alpha Audio – Dutch)
Cyrus puts out another fine system with the 40-series. The Cyrus 40 AMP and 40 PSU make a fine duo where the focus is on fun. And we like to see and hear that. Hifi has to be fun. It should entertain, move… it should grab you. And this duo does that without a doubt. Alpha Approved!
40 CD (What HiFi? – English)
A hugely capable and engaging CD player that balances subtle detail, rhythmic precision, punch and power with superb control.
40 ST (HiFi.nl – Dutch)
The Cyrus 40 ST plays very musically: the emphasis is on experience and a smooth reproduction, without placing extreme emphasis. A touch of warmth, not overcritical and still able to give you the feeling that you are discovering new things in familiar recordings, that is a recipe for success.
40 ST (HiFi-IFAs – German)
The Cyrus 40 ST does exactly what a good streamer should: It plays music – without drama, without unnecessary gimmicks, but with maximum sonic sovereignty.
40 AMP (What HiFi? – English)
The Cyrus 40 AMP is everything we want in a modern Cyrus integrated amplifier. It’s well-built, fully equipped, looks smart and sounds excellent.
Classic PHONO (Home Theatre HiFi – English)
The Classic PHONO preamplifier easily accommodated any cartridge (or turntable or tonearm) I paired it with. It was very easy to configure, it was very easy to modify cartridge settings with its remote control, and it was very easy to forget it was even there when I was listening to an album.
