    Default Primare r32 MM/MC phono stage

    Selling my R32 phono as I’m moving away from vinyl also selling the primare I32 amp on this site to along with my Clear audio performance SE turntable. This is a amazing phono for the money, its in excellent condition and come with power lead and its original box. Here’s what Hifi Choice had to say about it:

    "Hi-Fi Choice magazine described the Primare R32 Phono Preamplifier in their phono pre-amp shootout. Amongst pre-amplifiers ranging in price up to £1500, the Primare was awarded the title of overall winner, achieving a coveted “outstanding product” award representing “The pinnacle of quality within its group”.

    If you’re serious about the quality and presentation of your vinyl playback, then a high-quality phono preamplifier is a solid investment. The Primare R32 phono preamplifier must surely represent one of the best currently on the market."


    £500

    I tried all kinds of different phono stages and the Primare always came out on top. Ridiculous value for money along with excellent build quality. It also responds well to good isolation and a good quality mains cable.

    When I bought one of these, it was the first time that my LPs sounded "right". Primare makes good kit. Mine's in the Titanium finish. I rather like the black ...

    Good luck with the sale.
