Sutherland Engineering PHD MM/MC Phono stage

I just took this in on trade from the original owner, lots of reviews and articles written about this phono stage. I don't have the manual or the original box and I will not ship them with the 16 D cell batteries they require. Contact John at Audio Salon for more info.

Outstanding Phono preamp. Individual notes take on a 3 dimensional image that is world class. They actually sound round as opposed to flat. Dynamics range is slightly subdued but well balanced. I listen to a lot of acoustic music, Jazz combos, bluegrass, blues, folk and the sound is breathtaking. I see no loss of upper end fidelity on hard rock either. Battery life is a non issue. Highly recommended *****
