Graham Slee Gram Amp 3 Fanfare MC Phono Stage Preamplifier

• The Gram Amp 3 Fanfare is for low output moving coil cartridges, and is best used into a preamp, integrated amp or receiver's line/aux input.
• It is supplied with a basic ("green energy") power supply which self adjusts to your voltage, and with power-pins fitted to suit your power outlet — and you can upgrade by swapping over to PSU1 power when you're ready.
• Improved Performance
• Redesigned in 2015, the Gram Amp 3 Fanfare has even better dynamics and speed which means it captures much more of the excitement and subtleties in your music.
• It will be like discovering your record collection all over again.
• Its redesign also makes it a moving coil phono preamp for the cell-phone age.
• The Cell-Phone Age
• You often find you need your cell-phone by your side even when relaxing to music.
• There are even Apps right now to check your turntable's RPM where you place your cell-phone right there on the platter.
• The powerful energy cell-phones emit and the sheer gain low-output moving coil needs present a big problem for MC phono preamp technology.
• For great music you need a phono preamp with excellent transparency, but that can leave it open to interference - lots of it!
• We needed to keep all the great circuit techniques which made the original sound so good whilst making it completely different from an immunity perspective.
• An impossible task? To some perhaps, but for years we've been developing high-speed audio technology which just happens to be more immune to interference.
• However, it can be really expensive and push up the price - something we couldn't allow in the value-for-money Gram Amp range.
• It was just a matter of sticking it out until the right combination could be found.
• And now it has. The redesigned Gram Amp 3 Fanfare phono preamp maintains its excellent transparency, but is much more immune to cell-phone interference.
