## Description

In a world where modern technology is ever-evolving, simplicity and connection are what we crave most. Nothing demonstrates this quite like the familiar act of picking your favourite LP, hearing the soft crackle before it starts, and sharing a story or two with friends as you listen together. If this is the type of connection you crave, then a well-designed phono stage is integral for your vinyl setup. It takes the subtle whispers of your cartridge and amplifies them hundreds of times, making your vinyl’s magic compatible with headphones, amps, receivers and speakers. The ZEN Phono 3 opens the door to that analogue world with style and substance. With an intelligent warp filter and versatile loading options, you will be able to hear your over-loved LPs as new and fully experiment with your system setup. Packed with trickle-down technology from our prestigious history with sister company AMR, the ZEN Phono 3 is a noise-free upgrade that will allow you to slip seamlessly back into the blissful world of vinyl.

Review: Great option to replace any turntable that has a built-in pre-amp - Fantastic phono pre-amp. Great clarity and no audible hiss.
Review: FANTASTIC SOUND - EVEN WITH HI-END MC CART - I bought this based on the reviews. This is my 2nd phono pre-amp ; I run two turntables, one with a MM cartridge and one with a high-end, very sensitive lo-output MC cartridge -for detailed sound out of those 'special' vinyl albums. The Zen has settings which are flexible yet easy to set up. I also bought the balanced XLR to 4mm cable since my amplifier supports XLR as an input. I'm using this with the MC cartridge, and the sound is - the best I've heard. The texture and detail on a well recorded album is simply stunning. I am sure it would sound great with MM cartridges also. Very easy to adjust. The only adjustment on the back panel is the 'gain' and for the majority of MM users, you wont even need to bother. Everything else is on the front panel. Unit is made of high quality materials. Very satisfied with this, especially at this price point. You can easily spend $$$$ on phono pre-amps but I am not sure I can better the sound I'm experiencing. Recommended.

## Features

- The ZEN Phono 3 supports four MM/MC gain selections from 36 to 72dB and four input impedance settings.
- Mix and match gain and loading settings independently of each other with the all-new loading button, ensuring optimum compatibility with a wide range of cartridges and allowing you to get the sound ‘just right’.
- The power supply’s isolation mitigates noise pollution of the analogue stage – ensuring that only the audio is amplified and allowing for the noise-floor to remain whisper quiet.
