PROZOR Phono Preamp for MM Turntable RCA Input RCA 3.5mm Output

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!!!

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.

Good quality budget pre-amp. Good signal to noise ratio and frequency response. Channel separation could be better, and some amps may need a higher output. Overall, very pleased with it.

I wasn't expecting much for the price but I completely agree with other positive reviews. Solidly made and great performance. Absolutely no hiss or hum meaning I could keep my trusty turntable to use with a new amp.

Fitted this today to boost the signal from my moving magnet cartridge. The gain achieved is fantastic and nice quality sound it is. A superb buy in my opinion, does exactly what it says on the box.

Really easy to connect up to the phono leads on my old turntable and then used the line out / headphone jack to feed into my surround sound system. Works perfectly straight out the box and provides great sound. Wonderful just listening to old and new albums on the turntable.

I've had this for just over a year and, for the price, it's been great! It's connected to a Pioneer PL12D TT and works perfectly - the volume knob is a nice addition.

Poor! Left channel not working, and unit buzzing despite correct ground connection and with different cables. Regrettably, only managed to unpack and check after return period, so, wasted product and money.

Prima boxje voor als je versterker geen phono ingang heeft. Klinkt prima hier in combinatie met een Cambridge versterker. Goeie oplossing voor een nette prijs.

Ich bin durch Zufall an einen Plattenspieler (JVC AL-A1BK) sowie einige Schallplatten gekommen und wollte diesen zum Testen möglichst günstig an meine Anlage anschließen. Die beiden Probleme, die ich lösen musste, waren: - Auf Line-Level kommen (dafür ist der Vorverstärker ja in erster Linie da) - Die Lautstärke regeln (Meine Anlage besteht aus einem DSP und PA-Endstufen, die Lautsärke regle ich sonst auch über die Quelle) Der Vorverstärker löst für mich gleich beide Probleme auf einmal. Positiv überrascht hat mich, dass quasi kein Eigenrauschen wahrnehmbar ist, obwohl ich ihn einfach auf die Endstufe gestellt habe. Den Klang würde ich als neutral bezeichnen, mir ist nichts aufgefallen, im Idealfall sollte er ja auch keinen Einfluss auf den Klang haben. Die Lautstärkeregelung lässt sich auch super einstellen. Die Verarbeitung finde ich sehr gut, die Cinch-Buchsen sitzen fest und vertragen auch stramm sitzende Stecker, scharfe Kanten konnte ich keine feststellen. Einzig der Lautsärkeregler liegt leicht am Gehäuse an und schleift leicht beim drehen, was aber kaum auffällt. Fazit: Wer günstig seinen Plattenspieler mit einer modernen Anlage verbinden und separat die Lautstärke regeln möchte, ist mit diesem Vorverstärker gut bedient.

Ho un giradischi entry level di audiotechnina acquistato un anno fa, dotato di switch per utilizzare il suo prephono interno o meno, che io ho utilizzato perché collegando il giradischi all'ingresso phono di cui il mio amplificatore è dotato, si sentiva un Forte ronzio di massa insopportabile, non essendo il mio giradischi dotato di cavo di massa come quelli di una volta, per ovviare a quel disturbo, quindi ho dovuto urase il suo prephono interno, collegando ad un qualsiasi ingresso aux, ma il giradischi vuoi anche per la testina non di grossa qualità, manca di dinamica e dettaglio, così ho deciso di acquistare questo prephono, per migliorare un po' il suono, devo dire che per 27, è davvero un ottimo prodotto e fa il suo dovere, il suono e la dinamica migliorano, anche perché ha una manopola di volume per aumentare il guadagno, che consiglio di tenere quasi al massimo, per non dovere alzare troppo il volume dell'amplificatore, tanto anche al massimo ho notato che non porta dentro nessun disturbo di massa e ronzio, considerando nel Mio caso che non ho collegato nemmeno il cavo di massa, che il Mio giradischi non ne è dotato, quindi per la mi esperienza è un ottimo prodotto che funziona, ricordate se avete un giradischi con prephono interno che dovete escluderlo, e collegare il giradischi oltre al prephono ovviamente, ad un ingresso aux qualsiasi dell'amplificatore e non all'ingresso phono altrimenti sentirete male e disturbi.

Bon produit. Utilisé pour amplifier une veille platine disque, il fonctionne parfaitement. Le gain est important donc le bouton de volume est utile.

Easy to set up, and it doesn't take up much space. The sound quality is great, and so is the volume control. This was just what I needed to connect my turntable to a couple of speakers without needing a massive receiver in between to handle the gain and ground.
