Phono Equalisers
A Phono equaliser or phono stage is a device that sits between your turntable and your amplifier. It essentially takes the very small signal from your turntable and amplifies it and adds back the bass and subtracts the treble according to the RIAA curve that is an industry standard. This is a very delicate process and great care is needed not to corrupt the information and add as little noise and distortion in the process – essentially you get what you pay for in that more expensive stages generally sound better, there are many options to consider which will depend on your cartridge choice. A demonstration is essential.
