Audiophile Phono-stage with Adjustable Gain, Capacitance & Loading

Phono Box DS2 is a highly flexible phono preamplifier that’s suitable for most cartridges on the market, MM & MC alike. Push-button adjustment allows you to easily listen among load & capacitance settings, and front-panel gain simplifies things even further. The enclosure is made of a rigid 2-layer metal sandwich construction that not only shields the circuitry from electromagnetic interference and vibration, but is also pleasing to the eye in its simplicity & elegance. Phono Box DS2 features a linear circuit designed to deliver the best possible sound from a minimalistic PCB, amounting to fantastic dollar-for-dollar value.
