The E-Glo S is a phono stage made by European Audio Team (EAT), a specialist maker of turntables and valve analogue electronics. It belongs to the brand's E-Glo family of phono stages and offers switchable MM and MC impedance and gain across a wide range.

Key specs that matter

The E-Glo S has an XLR input alongside an RCA input. Load is switchable between 10, 25, 50, 75, 100 and 1000 ohms. Gain is 45 dB for moving-magnet cartridges and can be set to 45, 50, 55, 65 or 70 dB for moving-coil cartridges. Frequency response runs from 20 Hz to 20 kHz and output impedance is 100 ohms.

Engineering and use context

The wide choice of load and gain settings lets one unit serve several different cartridges, which suits an owner of more than one cartridge. The chassis is full width at 435 x 90 x 270 mm.

Pairing

Because the MC gain goes up to 70 dB, most moving-coil cartridges can be plugged straight in, with no step-up device needed.

Alternatives

The E-Glo 2 sits above this model in the EAT phono stage range.
