Phonostages — European Audio Team (EAT) E-Glo SB

The E-Glo SB is a phono stage from European Audio Team (EAT), sharing the E-Glo CB's wide stepless loading range and six-position gain selection. The E-Glo SB brings EAT's considered engineering to dedicated phono preamplification.

Key specs that matter

One balanced and one single-ended input are provided. Current-sensing input impedance offers the same wide stepless range as the E-Glo CB - 30 to 75,000 ohms for MM or 10 to 1,200 ohms for MC. Gain is selectable across the same six positions - 40, 45, 50, 55, 65, or 70dB. Frequency response spans 20Hz to 20,000Hz within plus-or-minus 3dB, matching. At 395 x 86 x 262mm and 5.1kg, the E-Glo SB shares the E-Glo CB's chassis dimensions with a modest weight difference.

Sound and use context

Expect a clean, precisely optimisable phono-stage performance reflecting the wide stepless loading range combined with the six-position gain selection, matching the E-Glo CB's electrical performance.

Pairing

The wide stepless loading range and six-position gain accommodate virtually any moving-magnet or moving-coil cartridge precisely.

Alternatives

EAT's own E-Glo CB offers a closely related, nearly identical alternative within the same broader phono-stage catalogue.
