It comes in two boxes: a separate power supply, to keep noise away from the signal, and the phono stage itself. It is made for low-output moving coil (MC) cartridges, with enough gain to drive them in silence.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePeople who hear it describe the same thing: it doesn't sound like tubes in the sweet, slow sense. It sounds open and fast on the attacks, with the bass in place and a large, well-defined stage, even in dense passages. Owners in Germany who ordered it unheard write that it is the last phono preamp they will buy. It is a craftsman's product, made piece by piece, and rare to find.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eType: tube phono preamplifier for low-output MC cartridges\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBuild: two boxes, separate power supply\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFinish: black acrylic front, black case\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOrigin: handmade in Portugal by Joaquim Pinto (JP Amplifiers)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"JP Amplifiers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58194128306516,"sku":null,"price":1250.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0485\/0594\/6279\/files\/IMG_0365.jpg?v=1794062962","url":"https:\/\/myhifihouse.com\/en\/products\/jp-amplifiers-brutus-mc","provider":"my HI-FI HOUSE","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
