Musical Surroundings Phenomena II phono preamplifier

Lacking only the battery-powered feature of its respected older brother, the Nova, this $600 phono preamp features the same circuitry and may be the perfect match for Technics SL1200s, Rega P3-24s and other sub-$1000 turntables. We found it to be at the “top of the heap in its class” and that it will help newcomers to vinyl discover just how much musical information is hiding in those grooves.
