Phono preamps

Phono preamps are a crucial component for any vinyl enthusiast, bridging the gap between your turntable and your audio system. These devices amplify the delicate signal from a phono cartridge to a standard line level, making it compatible with amplifiers, receivers, and powered speakers. Beyond simple amplification, phono preamps also apply the RIAA equalization curve, which is vital for accurate sound reproduction from vinyl records. Without a phono preamp, the sound from your turntable would be weak, tinny, and lack bass, making it an indispensable part of a high-fidelity vinyl setup.
