CES 2013

The new EAT E-glo phono preamp resembles a reel-to-reel tape recorder, don't you think? It features an outboard power supply and uses high quality parts including Mundorf caps. Tubes are the "usual suspect" dual triodes, though there are three per channel, which is one more than usual. CES is not the place for detailed circuit descriptions so no details are available.

Capacitive and resistive loading are easily adjustable from the chassis top, with the chosen value shown on illuminated numbers on the front of the wooden trim. This is a prototype unit. The final version will feature gloss wooden trim.

Cost for this cosmetically attractive phono preamp from Jozefina Lichtenegger's EAT Audio is $5000. EAT also showed a special 12" version of the Graham Phantom Supreme II tonearm made specially for EAT.
