The p245 EX is an accomplished tube-based phono stage from S.A.Lab, built with an oversized power supply for exclusive sound quality. The p245 EX brings S.A.Lab's considered engineering to dedicated phono preamplification.
Key specs that matter
The phono stage uses a tube-based circuit topology paired with an oversized power supply, a design choice S.A.Lab positions as central to the unit's sound-quality ambitions.
Sound and use context
Given S.A.Lab's emphasis on an oversized power supply within a tube-based topology, expect the p245 EX to deliver a rich, dynamically unconstrained phono-stage performance consistent with the brand's broader considered engineering philosophy.
Pairing
Buyers should confirm cartridge-loading options and connectivity directly with S.A.Lab or an authorised dealer to match this phono stage to a specific analogue front end.
Alternatives
Other manufacturers' comparable tube-based phono stages offer alternatives for buyers wanting to compare power-supply engineering at a similar price point.
