Review: Excellent Budget Phono Stage... - Want a no frills phono box that just does job?....look no further, this little box is the one you need. I tried others and none of them satisfied on the sound quality. This was right from the word go. Excellent sound quality, good volume output, well made....what more do you want? Buy it.
Review: Far better than it has a right to be - The time had come to replace the OM10 stylus on my Pro-Ject Essentials turntable which was coupled with a Little Bear valve preamp from new. Whilst the Little Bear gave warmth the sound seemed narrow and muddy and no matter how well grounded it was, it still generated noise; not overpowering but noticeable between tracks and during quiet passages. Replacing the stylus with a new OM10 and swapping the Little Bear for the Pro-Ject Phono Box E was like the difference between night and day. Ok so the stylus needs to bed in and until it does the sound is a little bright, but the Phono Box E is truly amazing and punches above it's weight in a way that it has no right to in it's price bracket. The sound stage is wider, bass response is controlled and punchy and I'm hearing much more and far clearer in tracks than I ever remember on albums that are up to 75 years old! And the best part...absolutely zero noise. There are better and far more expensive setups than mine but as far as phono preamps go you'd be hard pushed to find anything that performs anywhere near as good as the Pro-Ject Phono Phono Box E without spending an awful lot more money.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does connect to speakers or turntable**
A: Connects to turntable and  boosts signal to line level to the amplifier.  Only need this if your amplifier does not have a phono in.

**Q: Is this compatible with the Ortofon Cartridge (stylus 10) - I'm guessing so judging by previous simlar question but want to be sure - thanks**
A: Yes, I upgraded to the Ortefon 10 stylus about a week ago.
Simple to swap over & makes a decent improvement to the sound quality.

**Q: My Onkyo receiver has a phono input that sounds dreadful. Will this improve the sound connected to an Aux input?**
A: If other audio sources going into the line or Aux inputs on your Onkyo sound fine, then using a pre-amp into an Aux input as you suggest might improve things, but if the problems is with your turntable then it won't. I assume you have checked your stylus, cartridge and output connections etc.

**Q: would this be compatible with the rega planar 1?**
A: I think it should be fine. The RP 1 is a MM (Moving Magnet) cartridge and if you check the specs of this Phono box, MM is what this device is made to boost, so yes I would say.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Produces great sound overall for the price!
*by B***N on 11 May 2020*

I've had a Pro-Ject Elemental turntable since 2015, which I love and would recommended to anyone! I bought a cheap (about £20) Behringer phono preamp to go with it at the time, which worked fine, but felt the time had come to upgrade. It feels like you can go round and round in circles trying to choose the right preamp on Amazon, and it didn't seem to matter if you spent £20 or £300+ someone always had a bad word to say about this one or that one! So I decided to take a chance on the Pro-Ject as it suited my price bracket and hoped it would deliver a better sound than the previous one, which it has! The Pro-Ject preamp attaches like my previous one via a L&R line-in from the turntable and a L&R line-out to my stereo (Technics mini HI-FI stack system) there is also a GND on the back of the preamp box for your turntable ground cable to attach to. Overall I'm really pleased with the sound quality it's produced, it's much clearer and more powerful than my previous Behringer one. I would say about +10bd difference, which means I don't have to turn the stereo's volume up so high anymore (which when playing a CD at that volume would have been far too loud), the volume is now almost level with that of a CD. The only slight downside (which is why it's not got 5 stars) was that there is a low hum/buzz present even when the GND cable is connected and the power cable itself is very short (just less than 1 meter). Researching the hum/buzz issue, it seems to be a common problem attributed to not grounding the unit properly. As a first step, I decided to swap the power cable from my old Behringer preamp and try it with the Pro-Ject, it offered a longer cable anyway and was the same style sealed plug with the same voltage range. This seems to have taken the hum down to a barely audible level, which is great! It also means that perhaps there isn't a ground wire present in the plug supplied with the Pro-Ject, I can only assume. Overall though really happy and will definitely stick with this Pro-Ject preamp for the foreseeable future!
