Phonostages — Soulution Audio 757 deemphasis

The 757 deemphasis is a distinctive phono stage from Soulution Audio, built with a wide gain range and remarkably low output impedance. The 757 deemphasis brings Soulution's most accomplished current engineering to dedicated phono preamplification.

Key specs that matter

Two single-ended inputs are provided. MC current-sensing input impedance offers a stepless range of 10-1,000 ohms, or 47,000 ohms for MM. Output impedance is a remarkably low 0.8 ohms via XLR or 0.2 ohms via RCA - among the lowest figures available in any phono stage. Gain spans a wide 40-120dB range. Frequency response spans an exceptionally wide 0Hz to 2,000,000Hz within plus-or-minus 3dB. At 480 x 167 x 450mm and 30kg, the 757 deemphasis represents Soulution's most accomplished current phono-stage engineering ambition.

Sound and use context

Expect exceptionally clean, precisely optimisable phono-stage performance reflecting the remarkably low output impedance combined with the wide 40-120dB gain range, representing Soulution's most accomplished current phono-stage engineering.

Pairing

The remarkably low output impedance handles even long cable runs to a downstream amplifier without signal degradation.

Alternatives

Soulution's own 550 phono offers a more accessible alternative within the same broader phono-stage catalogue.
