5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect high-quality preamp for your turntable, works great with Sonos
Reviewed in the United States on March 18, 2022
This preamp gives you nice, clean sound without breaking the bank and is built around a minimalist yet functional design featuring an all metal enclosure. Simply connect your RCA cables from your turntable and out to your amp (or, in my case a Sonos Port), connect a ground cable between the preamp and your turntable, and then plug it into power. It’s always on and ready to receive the signal from your turntable. There’s no power light or anything distracting on the front so it will easily blend into your setup without attracting unwanted attention. This is a very basic setup with no adjustments other than a push button on the back that let’s you switch between moving magnet and moving coil cartridges so you do have some flexibility if you want to explore moving coil cartridges in the future (or if you already have one of course). Performance is fantastic with crystal clear sound and no noticeable hiss or other sound floor effects. Plug it in and forget about it.

Comparado con el pre phono incluido en mi integrado Audiolab, este pre de phono es más claro, con mejor nitidez. Físicamente es pequeño pero robusto. No tuve problemas de ruido. No me gusta que no tiene switch de encendido/apagado. Fuera de esto último, lo recomiendo ampliamente.
