Tom Evans Audio Design Micro Groove +

Tom Evans Audio Micro Groove Plus phono preamp. The sound from this pre preamp is liquid, quiet and balanced. The phono pre is very transparent and dynamic. An excellent performer overall.

I am moving to a tube MM phono stage given my current cartridge, but otherwise, I wouldn't sell as I can't find a fault with this phono at this price point.

This is not the regular microgroove phono, this is the microgroove + which, as several reviews will tell you, is basically better all around.

The phono itself is in perfect condition (both sonically and esthetically), however the external power supply unit has a loose transformer (which again, has no impact whatsoever on its sound and performance). I contacted tom Evans about that issue and he said that there is 4 options: 1) keep using it as is, it's not a problem or an safety issue, 2) get it to an audio technician, 3) upgrade the unit to mk2 at which point the power supply will be changed anyway or 4) buy a new power supply (shouldn't be very expensive).

Don't hesitate to contact me for additional pics or questions.

Thanks,

David
