Quest For Phono Preamp


Looking for a top tier phono preamp with the following features:

- volume control
- mono switch
- variable impedance loading (by switches, not by soldering)
- balanced outputs

Will also consider a full function preamp, but it must feature a phono section that is comparable to the better separates.

Thanks!

One model that has most of the features you desire is the PS Audio GCPH Phono Stage. I only feature I cannot recall it having, are balanced outputs. Cost is $1K with a 30 day no risk trial from the company. Mark
Checking the specs on the PS Audio Unit, I see that it is a dual mono balanced from input to output Stage, with dual mono power supplies, and it does also indeed have balanced output to feed to a pre-amp, or directly to an amplifier. I almost bought this Unit myself, but found a good deal on a used mint Sutherland PhD, and I'm very happy with it's performance. The features you require I myself didn't need. Mark
