Small Technique Phono

Short description
A phono stage, which is perfectly tuned to the EMT cartridges, that was the idea of Karlo Klein. It was not about occupying a market niche in the field of phono preamplifiers, but about the heart's desire to fully exploit the strengths of the EMT system. The spartan concept of the phono is its secret of success: an economical circuit, equipped only with the absolutely necessary components and the deliberate renunciation of any customization possibilities.
The result: Pure sound.
Hifitest writes about the use of the Phono with EMT system:
"... and yet the musical flow, the gripping, driving, emotional and whatever else makes up the appeal of a piece of music, wins out. The EMT and the Klein Phono stage almost seem to me like a group of highly talented musicians who have finally found a conductor who forms an orchestra out of them, a true body of sound out of the many brilliant individual voices."
