Vinyl Playback of Exceptional Clarity

Don’t just connect a turntable—elevate it with the SpinStage™ phono preamp. Designed for both Moving Magnet and Moving Coil cartridges, it offers high-end circuitry and adjustable features that rival expensive preamps. No wonder Ian White of eCoustics called it an Editor’s Choice.

SpinStage - Moving Magnet & Moving Coil Phono Preamp

SpinStage has been painstakingly engineered to deliver outstanding sound quality with virtually any Magnetic or Moving-Coil cartridge. It is the perfect choice to add a phono input to an audio system that lacks one, to add Moving-Coil compatibility, or to simply improve upon your system’s internal circuit.

"This thing is ridiculously good!"

“...impressed by the automatic impedance adjustment for moving coil cartridges.”

Future Audiophile

“one of the best affordable phono pre-amplifiers on the market”

eCoustics

Exactly the Right Impedance
Most audio systems don’t accommodate low-output Moving Coil (MC) cartridges. The SpinStage preamp offers four MM input impedance settings and 15 MM capacitance options, ensuring your MM cartridge performs at its best.
True Moving-Coil Gain Stage
Many budget phono preamps boost gain on Moving Magnet inputs for MC cartridges, adding noise. The SpinStage has a dedicated MC gain stage, delivering true MC performance with minimal background noise.
Highly Refined Circuitry
The SpinStage preamp uses isolated dual-mono circuitry, a DC servo circuit, and a switchable subsonic filter (20 Hz, 12 dB/octave) to minimize noise, distortion, and turntable rumble.

OMG

My stereo is an old hardon Kardon receiver with the Cambridge ensemble speaker system , bought New.... years ago.
recently I up graded to a audio Tecnica 120BX turntable , but I was lacking the sound I wanted , well this solved the problem .while my system is not high end by any means , it is so much more enjoyable to listen to and hear the MUSIC! by the way I am 84 years of age

So glad we could improve your sound, Arthur!! Rock on.

Bargain price, luxury sound

Fidelity above the price point and the capability to duplicate as set of RCA jacks on your preamp/integrated/receiver. Money well spent!

So glad you're loving your SpinStage, David!

Like washing dirty windows!

I read a review in the newspaper praising this preamp. Then I saw the SAVE80 enticement. I’d been thinking about upgrading my cheapo-cheapo phono preamp anyway, so I decided to order this one. After all, I’ve got 60 days to return it. I put on the first record, the Mobile Fidelity 45rpm repress of th Eagles’ “Desperado.” Wow! So clean, so clear - I heard subtleties I’d never heard before. This device is a gem: 10/10 (except mine goes to 11).

We love hearing crisp and clean :)
