Phono Stages

Phono Stages are specially-designed pre-amplifiers / preamps for use with turntables and record players. A phono stage boosts the weak analogue signal output from the pickup / cartridge / stylus assembly of your turntable, up to the correct line-level required by your power amplifier.

Because different designs of magnetic cartridge are available for turntables - usually either Moving Magnet (MM) or Moving Coil (MC) - there are different kinds of phono stages which cater for high-output and low-output models, and some which are designed to be switchable between different modes. Some perform the singular task of precisely amplifying the pickup signal, and some also contain a degree of variable boost or signal processing.

Audio Sanctuary have been around since turntables & vinyl were cutting-edge technology, so we are well-placed to offer advice on all aspects of phono stage use. We stock all trusted brands including Graham Slee, Leema Acoustics, NAD and Van Den Hul. Order online, contact us for advice, or visit our London showroom for a demonstration
