The LV-1 is an affordable high-end phono preamplifier. Derived from our well reviewed “Vinyl” preamplifier the “Little Vinyl” offers everything you need at a price within easy reach of most.

​

The LV-1 uses a J-Fet input stage and a wide bandwidth low noise output stage. Everything operates in Class A as it should, and the noise levels are very low. The LV-1′s sonic signature is transparent with a hint of warmth and the soundstage generated is realistic and tangible.

​

The LV-1 is suitable for both moving coil and moving magnet cartridges and offers several selectable cartridge loads.

​

Configuration options are all via switches accessible on the rear panel.

The chassis is constructed from 3mm aluminium and as with our other products is supported optimally on three acoustically inert feet. The non-resonant, non-magnetic structure presents a simple stylish look.
