The R35 is a phono preamplifier from Primare, built with comprehensive dual gain settings covering both MM and MC cartridge types. The R35 brings Primare's considered engineering to a versatile phono format.
Key specs that matter
One single-ended input is provided. Gain reaches up to 50dB for MM or 76dB for MC - a comprehensive range covering both cartridge types with meaningfully different output levels. At 430 x 384 x 92mm and 9.2kg, the R35 maintains a substantial phono preamplifier chassis consistent with Primare's considered Swedish engineering standards.
Sound and use context
Expect clean, accurate RIAA equalisation reflecting Primare's considered engineering approach, with the wide 50dB/76dB gain range accommodating both moving-magnet and moving-coil cartridges with meaningfully different output levels.
Pairing
The dual MM/MC gain settings let a listener match this phono stage to a variety of moving-magnet and moving-coil cartridge output levels without needing a separate step-up device.
Alternatives
Primare's own I25 and I25 Prisma integrated amplifiers offer natural, brand-coherent pairings for a fully Primare-voiced system.
