Overview

A record player owner whose amplifier has no phono input adds this preamp between the turntable and the speakers. The bundle pairs the preamp with a pair of three foot RCA cables and a polishing cloth.

The reason to buy is a simple RIAA stage plus the cables needed to hook it up. The limit is that the listing gives no gain settings, no cartridge type support and no power supply details.

Who it's for

A listener with an entry-level turntable and powered speakers is the likely user. Buyers who need a specific cartridge type, a ground terminal or gain choices should check the maker's manual first.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • RIAA equalization listed
  • Stereo two channel design
  • Cable included in the bundle
Cons
  • Power supply not listed
  • Gain settings not given
  • Cable length is short

Performance notes

A phono stage applies RIAA equalization and boosts the tiny cartridge signal to a level other equipment accepts. The result depends on the cartridge and the quality of the RCA connection. Careful routing away from power cords limits hum.
