Clearaudio Basic V2 Phono stage
Its predecessor, the basic plus, was a multi award winner and with the V2 we’ve taken all of that coveted ‘Plus’ technology up a notch.

Zphono XRM
The Zphono XRM is an extremely well thought out phono stage. As well as both balanced and single ended outputs it features separate MM and MC inputs, both with adjustable gain. The nicest touch is the variable MC impedance control which allows for easy and precise loading for those high achieving moving coil cartridges. It doesn't end there, the unit also features a mono-stereo switch and low frequency rumble filter for those less than pristine LPs.
A neat, high performance and versatile little phono stage. A step up from entry level but still easily affordable. Highly recommended. We have one on demo.

Developed by revered engineer Tim De Paravicini, the USA-made StudioPhono and UltraPhono prize simplicity, purity, precision, and control—the very characteristics responsible for producing audiophile clarity, unstinting accuracy, and breathtaking realism during analog playback.
UltraPhono replicates the wide bandwidth transparency Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab mastering engineers demand. Tim De Paravicini, the designer responsible for the Mobile Fidelity Gain2™ Ultra Analog cutting system, assisted with the internal circuitry to ensure your analog system at home faithfully reproduces the music buried in the grooves of your LPs. UltraPhono also includes an audiophile-quality Class A headphone amplifier for intimate listening enjoyment.

The Nano phono headphone V2 stage isn't ruffled by anything. External interferences are no longer an issue with this fine piece of engineering.
Its meticulously selected SMD components are assembled by hand in Erlangen and tested several times. The reward of these efforts is a signal to noise ratio of up to 84 decibels. The input impedance is set using plug-in links, so there is no loss of quality when using different moving magnet and moving coil cartridges.
The Nano Phono Headphone additionally contains a powerful headphone amplifier within the solid aluminium housing for private listening at the highest fidelity.

Parasound Zphono
The Parasound Zphono is an well thought out entry phono stage. Single ended (RCA) inputs and outputs, able to handle both MM and MC cartridges. Unusual for an entry level phono stage is the lack of the wall wart power supply. This unit takes it's power full strength, via the usual IEC socket. A reversible AC polarity switch helps with any system miss-match that can induce mains hum.
A neat, high performance and versatile entry level phono stage. Highly recommended. We have one on demo.
