Overview
Rolls makes this phono preamp to lift the weak signal from a turntable up to line level and apply standard RIAA equalization. It connects with RCA cables and also offers a quarter inch TRS output.
The reason to buy is a compact way to use a turntable with a system that has no phono input. The size is its limit, since the listing gives no gain figure, no power details and no cartridge match.
Who it's for
A turntable connected to powered speakers or an auxiliary input is the setup it answers. A listener who wants cartridge loading options, a ground screw or a headphone output should shop for a larger unit.
Pros and cons
- Applies standard RIAA equalization
- RCA and quarter inch TRS outputs
- Very light stainless steel body
- Warranty is short
- Gain and cartridge match not listed
- No power details given
- Color listing is red
Performance notes
A phono signal arrives weak and with bass cut and treble boosted, so the stage restores the curve and raises the level to line. The result depends on the cartridge and cable quality feeding it. No gain or noise figures appear in the listing.
