Phono Stages
Graham Slee Amp 2 Special Edition
The Gram Amp 2 Special Edition ($399.95) is different from most phono preamps available today. It captures both the essence and magic of music. Its soundstage is bigger and so are the dynamics, and this brings real life to the performance. No wonder, it has earned a roster of "stars" with reviewers and a multitude of end-users. It has garnered glowing reviews in the USA (where this British product was first launched), in the high-end magazines - The Absolute Sound (issue 134 and 138), in Stereophile (June 2002), on the Internet's EnjoyTheMusic.com review magazine, and in the European TNT-Audio.com Internet magazine. Most recently, it has become a Class C Stereophile Recommended Component (October 2002) and a Best Buy Recommended Product in The Absolute Sound (Issue 138, October-November 2002).
Graham Slee Era Gold Mk. V
The Era Gold Mk V phono preamplifier is unlike any other phono preamp. It throws current thinking to the wind, and concentrates on its singular and only critical mission - that of reproducing music the way music sounds. The result is what we call the listener's phono preamp. Michael Fremer in the Stereophile January 2004 issue (Vol. 27 No. 1) calls it the "miraculous phono preamp" for its ability to change and dramatically lift an entire system's sound quality and make music sound real! Subsequently, Stereophile in the April 2004 issue (Vol 27 No. 4) and October 2004 issue (Vol 27 No. 10) awarded Class A $$$ Recommended Component rating on the Era Gold MK V thus making it the least expensive component within this very exclusive class of superlative achievers. Others cost US$1,500-US$15,000!
MSRP: $924.90
