Graham Slee Gram Amp 2 Communicator MM Phono Stage

Description

Gram Amp 2 Communicator

Graham Slee made their Gram Amp 2 Communicator phono preamp so that you can have a rousing performance from your vinyl records, without having to shell-out the big-bucks for it.

They also made it upgradeable so you can get more out of it simply by changing the power supply to the PSU1, an upgrade which has been repeatedly affirmed by What Hi-Fi? The unit is supplied with a basic power supply which self-adjusts to your voltage. You can upgrade by swapping over to PSU1 power supply whenever you are ready.

Budget Price – Great Sound

Budget phono preamps are usually a basic circuit put in an attractive looking case, with fancy packaging and a low-ticket price. The sound you’d get is average, and after a while you get bored. This is not what Graham Slee want for you. They love vinyl so much that they want you to love it too!

This can only happen if your ears are opened to the great sound contained in your vinyl records. But doing that on a budget isn’t easy – something has to give. And with the Gram Amp 2 Communicator they made the savings on the case and packaging, in order to give you a whole lot more in musical satisfaction.

Graham Slee have been applying this concept since 2000. The original Gram Amp soon started clocking-up great reviews in Hi-Fi magazines, and the Gram Amp 2 went legendary.

Two Models

The concept quickly forked into two different phono preamps — this, the Communicator, and the higher output Special Edition version.

Both are still hand-made in the UK, by UK engineers. The sound is good straight out of the box, but will improve in the first two weeks or so. The Gram Amp 2 Communicator, like all Graham Slee products, is best kept on all the time (so doesn’t have need of an off switch), and in doing so it will always be ready to amaze you.
