Andover Audio SpinStage Aluminum Preamplifier

Product Overview

Exactly the Right Impedance

Although phono inputs are gaining popularity, not all audio systems have them. Of those that do, only a few accommodate low-output Moving Coil (MC) cartridges as well as Moving Magnet (MM). And only a very few have the robust input impedance options to exactly match the needs of your particular MM cartridge. The SpinStage preamp provides four separate MM input impedance settings, and a staggering 15 separate MM capacitance options. You’re not simply connecting a turntable; you’re eliciting its full performance.

True Moving-Coil Gain Stage

Low-output Moving Coil cartridges are highly-prized by audiophiles. But most value-priced phono preamps accommodate MC cartridges by simply increasing the gain on their Moving Magnet inputs, an approach that increases background noise. In dramatic contrast, the SpinStage preamp incorporates a dedicated Moving Coil gain stage. So, you’ll hear true Moving Coil performance – against a background of satisfying silence.

Highly Refined Circuitry

As the lowest-level signals among component interconnects, the magnetic cartridge outputs are exquisitely sensitive to even tiny amounts of noise and distortion. The SpinStage preamp protects your music with isolated dual-mono circuitry, a DC servo circuit and a switchable subsonic filter (20 Hz, 12 dB/octave) to keep turntable rumble under control.
