Фонокорректоры — European Audio Team (EAT) E-GLO PETIT 2

The E-Glo Petit 2 is a compact phono preamplifier from European Audio Team, built with a wide switchable gain range across six settings. EAT is a specialist manufacturer particularly known for turntables and tube-based analogue electronics, and the E-Glo Petit 2 represents an accessible entry into the brand's phono stage catalogue.

Key specs that matter

Two single-ended inputs are provided. Output impedance is switchable across a wide 10-75,000 ohm range. Gain is switchable across six settings - 40, 45, 50, 60, 65 and 70 dB - a comprehensive range covering moving-magnet through to very low-output moving-coil cartridges. Rated bandwidth is 20 Hz to 20 000 Hz. At 226 x 78 x 262 mm it is a compact chassis.

Sound and use context

Expect a flexible, well-adjustable presentation with the six-position gain switching covering essentially any cartridge type - a comprehensive single-box solution reflecting EAT's specialist analogue engineering expertise even at this more accessible entry tier within the brand's phono stage catalogue.

Pairing

The wide switchable gain range from 40 to 70 dB covers moving-magnet and moving-coil cartridges of virtually any output level directly, removing the need for a separate step-up device regardless of cartridge choice.

Alternatives

EAT's broader E-Glo range, including the larger E-Glo S and flagship E-Glo 2, sit above this model with additional connectivity and refinement, worth the further investment if this entry model's already comprehensive gain flexibility still leaves ambitions for EAT's higher-tier phono electronics. EAT relatively specialist reputation within analogue-focused circles means an audition is worthwhile before committing to a purchase, given the brand more limited international distribution compared with larger, more established manufacturers. A dedicated ground connection between turntable and this phono stage remains essential for hum-free operation regardless of which specific cartridge is ultimately paired with it, and a dealer demonstration with the specific cartridge already owned is worth arranging. Overall this remains a comprehensive entry point into EAT specialist phono stage catalogue. A dealer visit remains the simplest way to compare current pricing across EAT phono stage catalogue.
