This further expansion of previous double-stage moving magnet designs brings the same performance to moving coil, for even greater versatility.
Now available worldwide! The same high-performance MM signal path as the SPARTAN 15, plus an MC head amplifier with a 77dB signal-to-noise ratio out of a 500µV cartridge. Selectable inputs for MM and MC make a two-turntable setup a breeze, and parallel line outputs make archiving easy during listening.
Current price including UK P&P: £600
Designed specifically for 78s and early LPs, this fully-featured mono phono-stage transforms listening to old discs at a low price than any other.
Coming soon! Six equalisation curves for all eras, noise-filtering bandwidth switch, and 3rd order subsonic filtering. Using a highly efficient new circuit design, two amplifier stages realise 25dB of overload margin to handle the worst artefacts legacy pressings can throw at them. A must have product for seriously sublime sound from shellac.

The final form of the SPARTAN 5 single-stage design, adding further refinement to simple MM setups using uprated surface-mount components.
For previous customers only. Upgraded ±0.15dB RIAA accuracy, second-order 20Hz subsonic filter, and mono switching. Improved components increase robustness, while the Burr-Brown front end expands headroom. With its small footprint and efficient constantly energised power supply, this a perfect choice for second setups.

New components bring the first three-stage phono design to the SPARTAN series, optimised for unbeatable results with MM and HOMC cartridges.
Coming soon! Active loading yields the lowest noise yet for MM cartridges, with ±0.1dB RIAA accuracy, third-order subsonic filtering, mono switching, and a gain switch for high-output moving coil options. State-of-the-art SMD technology using the same architecture as the PRO series results in the best performer so far.

Bringing the most out of a single-stage phono preamp for high-efficiency of performance, price, power consumption, and features.
DISCONTINUED. RIAA accuracy to ±0.25dB, second-order subsonic filtering, and mono switching. Uniquely weaving double-stage features around a single amplifier design, the SPARTAN 5 is a truly complete pint pot performer, representing a significant step-up from integrated and contemporary external phono-stages.
Price including UK P&P: £160
High-spec re-engineered double-stage design that further builds upon the S10, realising exceptional performance with MM cartridges at an affordable price point.
DISCONTINUED. RIAA accuracy to ±0.1dB, third order subsonic filtering, low frequency crossfeed, and mono switching. A new power supply circuit extends headroom past 10V RMS output, while increased gain splitting between the two amplifier stages further reduces distortion. All for a lower price than the original!

A new look at preamplifier design, combining a high-quality headphone output with enough features for a complete system using active speakers.
DISCONTINUED. Three high-impedance RCA inputs, fully balanced line outputs, and up to 700mW of output into high-impedance headphones. An original new active balanced volume control design, based on a precise industrial-spec potentiometer, provides continuously variable gain over a wide range with very low noise and distortion.

Double-stage innovation extracts new detail out of MM cartridges while stopping low-frequency noise in its tracks.
DISCONTINUED. Low-frequency crossfeed, RIAA accuracy to ±0.1dB, third order subsonic filtering, and mono switching. The circuit design realises wonderfully low distortion by reducing frequency compensation on the input amplifier and carefully sharing the gain between two stages, resulting in the best performance at three figures and beyond.
