REVIEW

The Phono Box RS is an ultra low noise and low distortion preamplifier designed to deliver breathtaking, reference quality sound. Thanks to its unique variable impedance control (that can be done while playback!), the Phono Box RS is capable to adapt to virtually any phono cartridge (moving magnet or moving coil). It is constructed of high end parts including the SSM2019 from Analog Devices as input stages and Linear Technology LT1010 as high current buffer stage, for ultra low levels of distortion and noise. It also features passive RIAA and DECCA equalisation is selectable with fully balanced circuitry and both XLR and RCA inputs and outputs. All this together with an elegant exterior delivers clear, detailed and smooth audiophile sound.
