Musical Surroundings Phonomena III Phono Preamplifier

The Phonomena phono stage, in production since 1999, has been continuously improved throughout the years. The basic concept has remained unchanged: discrete circuitry that provides flexible gain and loading to maximize the performance of both MM and MC phono cartridges.

Michael Yee’s newest version is now built in Silicon Valley, California. The Phonomena III, our highest gain phono stage to date, reaches new heights in affordable vinyl playback.
