Leema Acoustics Essentials Phono Stage Best Phono Under $1,000!

BRAND NEW UNIT

This Leema Essentials phono stage is
my favorite, under $1,000 stage. It is very detailed, very open and
musical. Try this one out if this is your budget. You'll love it or your
money back!

Made in the UK.

Hi-Fi Choice Group Winner, January 2013, gave the Essentials Phonostage 5 Stars.

"...the Essentials put in a consistently strong performance with all types of music..."

"...the Leema has a sense of timing and control that makes it easy to listen to..."

"The low noise floor and impressive microdynamics were also remarked upon..."

"Throw in the solid build the ability to handle moving coil cartridges, and you have a most worthy group winner."

Art Dudley, Stereophile Magazine

But the music making, the playing of notes
and beats, the conveyance of intellect and emotion, was essentially the
same. I heard, in the same, single moment, why someone would pay $5000
for the Hommage and why most anyone else would be happy just paying
their $795 for the Leema.

 

Real time staging

The circuitry inside the
award-winning Essentials Phono is closely based on that of the class
leading Agena Reference Series Phono stage. its performance is simply
astonishing at this price point; it was designed not just to compete
favourably with its competitors, but to completely overshadow them, even
those at 3 or 4 times the price.

 

The subtle musical information from
the phono cartridge is handled with such delicacy that many listeners
will never have experienced the levels of clarity, of dynamic accuracy,
the soundstage dimensionality, and authenticity of tone and timbre that
is produced – at any price.

 

The Essential Phonostage is
switchable for use with both moving coil and moving magnet cartridges
and includes a switchable low frequency filter. The low frequency filter
only operates below 20 Hz to stop the by-product of warped records and
turntable motor or bearing noise.
