Graham Slee Gram Amp 2 SE Phono Preamplifier with PS Power Supply

Description

MY TAKE: Hard to believe this is a budget phono stage! The Gram Amp 2 Special Edition phono preamplifier will amaze you with its wonderful musicality. - Galen Carol
 

The Gram Amp 2 Special Edition phono preamp has set the standard for budget phono stages for the past 8 years. Not that it gives a hint of the budget sound - its pure musical luxury! Some manufacturers would pass this off as the high-end or their flagship model. However, we believe in offering you much more for a lot less!
 

This phono preamp is specifically designed for high output phono cartridges, and that's part of its secret of success: it's a no-compromise phono preamp for moving magnet and the higher output variety of moving coil phono cartridges. Other phono preamps that cater for both high output and low output cartridges never quite hit the mark. What they offer in convenience is the music's loss: the equalization network and the amplifier gain must be perfectly matched to give that breathtaking musical performance you've been longing for. The Gram Amp 2 SE has been honed to perfection over many years earning awards and recommendations from the best ears in the business, but most of all, the vinyl enthusiast.

REVIEWS:

"...all the earmarks of a giant killer...the more you listen to this thing on its own, the more you'll discover that you can play it for hours without fatigue... a tonal balance unusually rich, lush, and well, beautiful..." Paul Seydor, Absolute Analog, The Absolute Sound

"...they'll be amazed by its sound...the Gram delivered genuine solidity in the mid-band and mid-bass. It was quiet, and free from the thinness, edge, and grain you usually get at this price..." Michael Fremer, Analog Corner, Stereophile

"For those building a budget system or upgrading an existing built-in phono stage, the Graham Slee 2 SE is a new reference. Its combination of superb wideband sonic performance and exemplary musical communication sets the standard for budget phono stages. Highly recommended." - Paul Szabady, Stereo Times
