Arcam rPhono Phono Preamplifier for Moving Magnet Cartridges
The Arcam rPhono is a dedicated phono preamplifier designed to bring out the best in moving-magnet (MM) cartridges. It uses a carefully engineered low-noise amplification stage and precision equalisation to match the RIAA standard for vinyl playback, helping retain musical detail with minimal distortion and hum. A high-quality power supply and grounded layout reduce noise and interference, while adjustable gain and loading allow it to be tailored to different turntable setups. The compact, rack-friendly design makes rPhono easy to integrate with amplifiers, receivers, or preamplifiers that lack a dedicated phono input.
Key Features
- Purpose-built phono preamp for moving-magnet (MM) cartridges
- Accurate RIAA equalisation for faithful vinyl reproduction
- Low-noise amplification with high signal-to-noise ratio
- Adjustable input loading and gain for cartridge matching
- Ground terminal to help eliminate hum and noise from turntable setups
- Compact, high-quality build ideal for hi-fi and home audio systems
Why Buy
If you’re using a turntable without a built-in phono stage or want better analog performance than a typical receiver’s onboard phono input, the Arcam rPhono provides a clean, flexible solution. Its accurate RIAA equalisation and adjustable loading help you dial in the right sound for your cartridge and system.
- Vinyl-focused design: Optimised for MM cartridges with faithful RIAA equalisation.
- Low noise: High SNR and thoughtfully engineered circuitry minimise hiss and hum.
- Flexible setup: Adjustable gain and loading let you match a wide range of cartridges.
