Clearaudio Balanced Reference phono stage.


Has anyone heard this beast? I am curious about it because it is balanced with a high quality volume control. It is a lot of money, but, I could get away with no pre-amp. I don't see the US dealers on the german website. Thanks

I have heard it. Its performance stands out among the rest -- by which I mean it sounded superior to the standard "good" phonos. Good tonal qualities and accuracy.
It's two "mono" boxes btw, you know that? On the up-side, it is very easy to fiddle with the input impedance to sort-of match to your cartridge.
I never used it without a line stage though...
