Graham Slee Gram Amp 2 Special Edition MM Phono Stage

Description

Gram Amp 2 Special Edition

Shortly after the launch of the so-called beer money Gram Amps in 2000, Graham Slee were asked if they could make an even-better version for the US market, and so the Gram Amp 2 Special Edition came into being.

This model quickly picked-up awards and recommendations from a number of US hi-fi publications because of its bang-for-the-buck credentials. Since then the design – both in audio performance and appearance – has been refined a number of times. Each time it has been judged by customers and magazine reviewers, and has not been found wanting.

For such a low-cost, small and lightweight phono preamp, the Gram Amp 2 Special Edition has proved itself capable of delivering a blistering musical rendition. As might be expected the Special Edition has become a much sought-after dedicated MM phono preamp amongst record fans in the UK and Europe as well as in the US.

Cartridge Choice

The Special Edition will not be found lacking in the company of the best high output cartridges. But where budget dictates, less-costly cartridges (like the Audio Technica AT95E) will still let it produce a highly satisfying sound.

The Gram Amp 2 Special Edition phono preamp won’t stamp any of it’s own signature on your music, so you will be able to hear all the qualities of your cartridge. This phono stage preamplifier will be a lasting part of your hifi system, and won’t be easily outdone by upgrades to the rest of your system.
