A phono stage boosts the delicate signal produced by your turntable cartridge and applies the correct equalisation so your music can be played properly through your amplifier or speakers. Without one, the signal from a turntable is too quiet and lacks the balance needed for accurate vinyl playback.

Our range includes trusted phono stages from brands such as Rega and Pro-Ject, helping you get the most from your turntable setup.

Whether you're upgrading an existing Hi-Fi system or building a new setup alongside one of our turntable and speaker bundles, a quality phono stage can make a noticeable difference to your listening experience.
