The Grail SE Balanced Phono Preamplifier

Among solid-state units, the Grail is distinguished by its sheer dynamic wallop and superbly low noise floor. It will help to goose just about any set of loudspeakers with its unabashed sonic horsepower. The bottom line is that the Grail brought its own set of attributes to the music—dynamic effervescence coupled with a smooth sound. Kudos to A.J. Van den Hul for not resting on his abundant laurels and striving to produce a top-drawer phonostage that exceeds his previous efforts.

Features
    •    Automatch impedance matchingIn a couple of milliseconds, the Grail SE is able to match the impedance automatically.
    •    Available as Grail SE+Optionally the Grail SE is deliverable with uprated power supplies for even better dynamics, called Grail SE+.
