The Era Gold V phono stage preamp is for moving magnet, moving iron and high output moving coil phono cartridges in the range 2mV to 10mV.
It is one of the very few phono stage preamps ever to remain in Stereophile magazine’s class-A recommended section for four years in a row! It still features as a Stereophile recommended product.
With the Elevator EXP step-up amplifier the Era Gold becomes suited for moving coil cartridges as well.
