Musical Surroundings Phonomena III Phono Preamp

Description

MY TAKE: Since its very inception, Michael Yee’s Phonomena phono preamp has been an unqualified success. It offers a wealth of flexibility along with outstanding resolution and an extremely low noise floor. A very nice unit indeed, and highly recommended. - Galen Carol
 

Built in California, the Nova III is the latest version of our larger phono stage with incredible flexibility and performance, delivering the best sound in its price range. Like the Phonomena II+, the Nova III has rear panel switches for easily accessible and highly flexible gain and loading adjustment. The Nova III incorporates a large, regulated internal power supply providing greater dynamics and image dimensionality, replacing the batteries used in previous generations. Further performance enhancements are available by adding the optional Linear Charging Power Supply.
