PARASOUND ZPHONO, PHONO PREAMPLIFIER(Pre-Owned)
(Pre-owned)
t’s no secret that LP lovers have taken a hit since CDs became the sound reproduction medium of choice for the masses. Most manufacturers now design their preamps and receivers without the extra preamplifier gain stage and the RIAA equalization that phono cartridges require. People who still enjoy listening to their record collections have had to settle for using the often outdated phono preamp stage in their bulky older equipment.
The compact and affordable Zphono is perfect for music lovers who want to hook up their analog turntables to today’s line stage preamps, amps, and receivers. Parasound’s low price and high performance make this unit a favorite with audiophiles.
