{"product_id":"cambridge-solo-mm-phono-stage","title":"Cambridge Solo MM Phono Stage","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe simplest way to give your turntable the phono input your amp is missing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eA great record, and nowhere to plug it in\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou've got a turntable with a moving-magnet cartridge and an amp that has no phono input, or one that sounds flat and lifeless. Vinyl needs a proper phono stage to come alive. Without it, you're hearing a fraction of what's in the groove.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy we chose the Solo\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe chose the Solo because it does one job extremely well: it gives any moving-magnet turntable a clean, quiet phono input, and nothing you don't need. A switch-mode power supply and surface-mount board keep the noise floor low, and a built-in subsonic filter clears up rumble from warped or well-loved records. Connect it between your turntable and any line input, and vinyl finally sounds the way it should.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat the specs won't tell you\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDetail from a dead-quiet background.\u003c\/strong\u003e The switch-mode supply and short signal paths keep hum and hiss down, so you hear the record, not the electronics. Voices and instruments sit clearly, and the quiet moments actually stay quiet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCleaner sound from imperfect records.\u003c\/strong\u003e The built-in subsonic filter tames the low-frequency rumble that warped or worn pressings can push into your speakers, so you get tighter bass and less woofer flapping, especially useful on an affordable setup.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSet it and forget it.\u003c\/strong\u003e No fuss, no settings to get wrong. It sips power on standby and powers itself down after 20 minutes of silence. Plug it in, and it just works.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat the reviewers heard\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eReviewers consistently place the Solo among the best value moving-magnet phono stages, praising its clean, quiet, and natural sound and its no-nonsense design. It's the more affordable sibling to the five-star Duo, sharing the same low-noise engineering in a moving-magnet-only box, and it earns the same reputation for punching above its price.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Audio Two verdict\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is the phono stage we recommend when someone has a moving-magnet turntable and simply needs to connect it properly, without paying for features they won't use. It's quiet, clean, and honest. If your amp has no phono input and you run a moving-magnet cartridge, the Solo is the straightforward answer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTech you can hear\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat You Hear\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy It Happens\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eA quiet, clean background\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSwitch-mode power supply, surface-mount circuit board\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTighter bass from imperfect records\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBuilt-in subsonic filter\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNatural, detailed vinyl sound\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e39dB gain, low distortion, accurate RIAA curve\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEven left-right balance\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRear balance control\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEffortless everyday use\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAuto power-down after 20 minutes, low standby draw\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFits any moving-magnet turntable\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDedicated MM input, 47k ohm \/ 100pF loading\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTechnical highlights\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMoving-magnet (MM) phono stage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGain: 39dB at 1kHz; nominal output 300mV\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInput impedance 47k ohm, 100pF; RIAA accurate\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBuilt-in subsonic filter (-3dB at 15Hz)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRear balance control; switch-mode power supply\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAuto power-down after 20 minutes, under 0.5W standby\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRCA input and output; 48 x 176 x 132mm, 0.68kg\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy choose Audio Two\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAudio Two ships across Canada.
