Phono Box: Best buy classic for pure vinyl listening pleasure!
This is a preamplifier designed for both MM and MC cartridges, with a selector switch located on the rear panel. It offers strong value for money and uses an energy-efficient DC power supply with standby consumption below 1 watt.
The unit provides precise RIAA equalisation and uses low-noise integrated circuits for clean signal performance. It features an output stage with very low impedance and gold-plated RCA connectors for reliable connectivity. Its compact size allows easy placement close to a turntable, and it is available in black and silver finishes.
