The PHO-701 is a phono preamplifier from Vincent, built with comprehensive continuously variable MC impedance adjustment. The PHO-701 brings Vincent's considered engineering to a versatile phono format.
Key specs that matter
One single-ended input is provided. MC current-sensing input impedance offers a continuous range from 99 to 1,000 ohms - a flexible adjustment covering a broad variety of moving-coil cartridges. Output impedance is 250 ohms. Frequency response spans 10Hz to 20,000Hz within plus-or-minus 3dB. Total harmonic distortion plus noise is under 0.05%. At 130 x 95 x 225mm and 2.2kg, the PHO-701 maintains a manageable phono preamplifier chassis.
Sound and use context
Expect clean, accurate RIAA equalisation reflecting Vincent's considered engineering approach, combined with comprehensive continuously variable impedance adjustment covering a broad variety of moving-coil cartridges.
Pairing
The continuously variable 99-1,000 ohm MC impedance adjustment lets a listener precisely dial in the optimal loading for virtually any moving-coil cartridge.
Alternatives
Vincent's own SV-228 integrated amplifier shares the brand's coherent engineering philosophy, forming a natural companion component.
