Graham Slee® Phono Stages - the difference is legendary

The Phono Stage is also known as a Phono Preamp, Phono Equalizer, Turntable Preamp and RIAA Preamp just to confuse you...

They all mean the same thing, but not all Phono Stages are the same! Ours consistently beat the competition where it matters most - the music!

With their involving "walk-through" sound staging a Graham Slee Phono Stage is a significant leap forward.

"The combo of the Era Gold Reflex and Elevator EXP produced an extremely well-organized physical picture that was as convincing and believable as what I'd heard live a few hours before"

Michael Fremer, Analog Corner, Stereophile, September 2007

"What I didn't expect was for it to soundstage like a four-figure pre."

Geoff Husband (Gram Amps), TNT Audio, February 2001

What makes a Graham Slee Phono Stage sound so real is its tuneful "toe-tapping" stereo sound-stage as noted by trusted reviewers Michael Fremer and Geoff Husband (above).

And it's not just the odd "one hit wonder" which pulls-off this magic, as thousands of our customers will testify. OK, anybody could make that claim, but can they back it up? We can! There are over 900 genuine members of our owners club: check it out with them! In fact you can join right now - it's free! Go on - ask them!

So how come Graham Slee got so good at phono pre-amplification? It's like this, you don't get to be good at something by deciding to jump on the vinyl revival bandwagon because you think you're going to make money out of it - like the multitudes of brands do today.

No, Graham Slee began learning how to make vinyl sound great before the gold-rush! During the 1970s to be exact. Learning from the ground up - in the days of crystal and ceramic pick-up heads and in public entertainment - getting the ground work right before spending a lifetime developing better and better magnetic cartridge phono stage preamps.

Just think about the above for a bit longer: public entertainment? What's that got to do with it? You don't know? Well, how often have you said "that really got my toes tapping"? The equipment you enjoy the best, involves you - really involves you - IN THE MUSIC! And that's how Graham Slee started! Getting people up on the dance floor - often addictively - through great sound engineering!

And when you receive your Graham Slee Phono Stage Preamp you'll suddenly realise all we say is true - you'll realise just what you were missing and you'll wonder why you left it so long.

The difference is legendary!
