Aluminium cases with 8mm thick front panels. Power supply has centrally mounted red LED power indicator.

Built with the best components, Clarity Caps in the coupling and output stages.

Input impedance set by DIP switches on the PCB.

Solid silver input and output connecting wire.

Gold plated input and output phono sockets.

Would this work OK with the following carts

Goldring Eroica XL
Zyx R100 Yatra
Shelta 5000

I was going to buy a Rothwell Head amp , is this unit better ? Sorry if the questions seem daft as I am no electronics expert

This is an RIAA phono stage for moving coil cartridges. So it's not a head amp.

It should be OK with the Goldring and the Shelter. If the ZYX is the low output version it probably won't have sufficient gain.

There is quite a wide range of loading values available by DIP switch settings.

I used it with a Koetsu Black Goldline and a ZYX R50 bloom high output version.

Only about 3db difference between low and normal output ZYX MC's so it is unlikely to be very noticeable.

Only about 3db difference between low and normal output ZYX MC's so it is unlikely to be very noticeable.

The difference is a factor of 2. That's a 6dB difference in voltage. 3dB equates to a factor of 2 for power. 6dB equates to a factor of 2 for voltage.
