Pro-Ject Phono Box II Phono Preamp
Do not let the small size of The Phono Box fool you; the performance outweighs either its size or cost. To manufacture a high performance phono stage at this price requires simplicity of design and carefully selected components. This results in a dual mono design featuring Class A components and ultra low noise integrated circuits throughout the signal path. Versatility and compatibility are not compromised , as the Phono Box easily switches between MM and MC using internal jumpers , while ACTI-DAMP circuitry allows for automatic impedance matching with the widest array of phono cartridges . The Phono Box is designed to connect to any line level input (aux , CD , tape , etc). Flexibility and performance per dollar make this phono stage a must for any entry-level turntable.

TNT Reveiw of Pro-Ject Phono Box
"At the end of it all I think the Phono Box is a better preamp than the NAD PP-1. In few words, it is more refined, has a better tonal balance and soundstage. It could be considered a serious first step in the world of vinyl playback, especially if partnered with entry-level turntables and cartridges."
What Hi-Fi Review of Pro-Ject Phono Box
"Super little phono box that will bring out the best in sub-$600 turntables". Use it where your amplifier lacks a dedicated turntable input, or to improve an existing, poor quality, phono stage... Not only does it work with both moving magnet and the more expensive moving coil cartridges, but it even comes with its own power supply. Just plug it in and listen to your turntable sing!"
