PROZOR Phono Preamp - Preamplifier for M/M Turntable RCA Input & RCA 3.5mm Output Phono Amplifier with Volume Control Pre AMP with 12V 1A Power Adapter Only for M/M Turntable Record Player

I bought the vacuum tube version. as I was feeling a bit nostalgic for some good ole tubes. Anyway I have a Roksan Attessa turntable which is perfectly nice but here's the thing. It lacks a grounding point so I have always had a bit of an awful hum coming through the speakers. Strangely when I replaced the expensive phono leads with a really old cheap pair I've had in the bottom of my box of bits since the 80s things improved greatly so therein lies a lesson perhaps. Oh well! back to the plot. Dead easy to set up, the quality feels nice and sturdy and the tubes look lovely glowing away. Aside from that 'wos it sand' like then?' well glad you asked it sounds great with no noticeable drop off in sound quality and the volume control is a nice touch. Being valve dependant you do have to give it a few minutes to warm up. I put on Octave side 1 by the Moody Blues (old hippy me) and was a bit too quick to lower the needle and it sounded quite treble rich until it settled in. Do the valve tubes make it sound any warmer or whatever? Well not that I could notice particularly. After it had settled in it just sounded really lovely with no hum noticeable, so that's a bonus but with every bonus comes a negative and that is it uses another bank of phono inputs on your amplifier. In my case that's a Marantz PM6007. So if you have bunch of stuff going in to your amp then you might have a problem. In my case I have a Denon CD player, my desktop PC, an aux lead into 3.5mm jack for phone/tablet/compact DVD player and a Aiwa microdisc (yes I still have one and it sounds gorgeous) and finally my pride of place old Akai 4000db Reel to Reel. so yes I have to make choices. All this goes through the Denon and out into a pair of Mission 750s and my antique pair of Mission 771s. The stated dimensions are wrong and it actually measures about 160mm by 85mm by 30mm (not including the valves). All in all this is a lovely bit of kit, well made and has improved my listening pleasure. For the price I don't think you can go wrong. I removed it and set my turntable back to original config and did not notice any difference in the sound quality. Finally did I mention it looks really cool!

When the light went out for good on my Rotel two channel stereo amplifier I was given a Pioneer VSX-C402 AV Receiver that my father no longer wanted as a substitute until I could buy something better, however, when listening to CD's through the Pioneer I was quite surprised just how good it sounded through two channels, so decided to keep it as my permanent amp and save money in the process during these hard pressed times, as I was needing to shell out between £300-350 for a new stereo amp. There was one problem though, and that was the Pioneer AV amp nor my Rega Planer 2 has a phono stage so I couldn't play my vinyl, so purchased the Prozor Phono Preamp to enable that to happen. This is a great piece of kit for the cash outlay in terms of build with it's all metal case construction combined with the fact that it's totally silent in operation and I crank it over half way along with my amp. Honestly, when connected between my Rega Planer 2, Pioneer amp driving Wharfdale Diamond 9.0s it sounds as good as my defunct Rotel: I can't hear a noticeable difference in sound quality and trust me when I say that Sammy Hagar, Ted Nugent and Gary Moore have never sounded so good through my current system!!!

Works perfectly with my 80s pioneer record player. Fantastic pre amp for a great price.

Replaced for a faulty pre amp and worked perfected on my very aged Technics deck. Like that it has it's an on/off switch

The on/off switch saves mucking about with the plug socket and the sound quality is not bad either

Found the product to be very poor with buzzing from this pre amp. I’ve compared it to my other pre amps and have no issues. It’s obviously not as noticeable when music is actually playing but was cheap enough to keep my teenage son happy. The build quality is quite good and connections seem sturdy. Basic pre amp.

What a little gem! Very compact and solid little unit ideal if space is an issue. Headphone jack is a bonus as my Philips stereo bizarrely doesn't have one. Yes a top branded amp at £200+ will undoubtedly be better when you crank it up, but if you can afford one of those then why are you reading up on something that only costs 25 quid. Can't fault this for the price.

Fantastic unit . Great having the on off switch and volume control
