Musical Surroundings Phonomena II phono preamp
A recipient of The Absolute Sound Editors' Choice Award in 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012 and 2013, the Phonomena II phono preamp is based on the latest discrete circuit of the highly rated Nova Phono Preamplifier - without the battery pack. It offers outstanding sound quality and flexbility to match with moving magnet and low, medium or high output moving coil cartridges. The sound of the Phonomena II is alive and electrifying with its release of dynamic energy. For balance and value, the Phenomena II phono preamp is a stunner.
The Phonomena II is a complete phonograph preamp with RIAA equalization that amplifies the output signal of a phonograph cartridge, either moving magnet or low-output moving coil, up to a nominal line level. The Phonomena II may be used with a receiver or an integrated amplifier. If it is to be used with separate components, a line level control unit (preamplifier) is required before the power amp, since there is no independent volume control included with the Phonomena II. The Phonomena II is powered by a separate wall-mount transformer.
