Phonostages — European Audio Team (EAT) E-Glo 2

The E-Glo 2 is a substantial dual-chassis phono stage from European Audio Team (EAT), built with a comprehensive eight-position stepped MM/MC loading selection and a separate power-supply chassis. The E-Glo 2 brings EAT's more accomplished current engineering to a serious dedicated phono preamplification format.

Key specs that matter

The dual-chassis design comprises a main unit at 395 x 86 x 262mm plus a separate power-supply chassis at 395 x 61 x 280mm, weighing 5.3kg and 5.4kg respectively.

Sound and use context

Expect a clean, precisely optimisable phono-stage performance reflecting the comprehensive eight-position loading selection, with the distinctive separate power-supply chassis reflecting EAT's uncompromising approach to isolating noise-sensitive circuitry.

Pairing
