Fezz Gratia Prestige MKII Vacuum Tube Phonostage

Product Summary

The Fezz Gratia Prestige MK2 is a premium valve phono stage designed for vinyl listeners who want greater warmth, dynamics and cartridge flexibility from their record playback. Built as an upgraded version of the original Gratia Prestige, it combines a two-stage amplification section with low-noise 12AU7 valves, Burson Supreme Sound V5i op-amp technology and a dedicated Toroidy.pl Supreme Audio Grade power transformer.

Designed for both moving magnet and moving coil cartridges, the Gratia Prestige MK2 allows the input capacitance to be adjusted for MM cartridges and load impedance to be set for MC cartridges. This gives more scope to fine-tune the phono stage to your chosen cartridge, helping achieve a better balance of clarity, bass weight, treble smoothness and overall musical flow.

The valve stage is easily accessible through the sliding top-panel window, allowing experienced users to replace or fine-tune the 12AU7 valves if desired. With mono/stereo switching, a subsonic filter and ground loop control also included, the Gratia Prestige MK2 is a serious phono stage for customers looking to get more detail, scale and character from a quality turntable system.
