Phono Stages

Audio Research prides itself on manufacturing only those products which will provide genuine enjoyment for as long as the customer cares to own them. In company practice, this means that Audio Research technicians can still repair, refurbish and restore to original performance standards virtually any product ever manufactured during the company’s 40-year history.

Indeed, 40-year-old Audio Research designs continue to provide exceptional musical enjoyment daily in music systems around the world. These products are workhorses, not museum pieces.

Much more than a mere carriage-trade brand name, the Audio Research marque has come to represent stellar performance and lasting value for music lovers and audio enthusiasts everywhere.

Audio Research products are all made by hand in our Plymouth, Minnesota facility.   Connections are hand-soldered, not press-fit nor wave-soldered.  All metalwork, boards, transformers and major parts are American-made and sourced locally.  We take a great deal of pride in our workmanship, and so will you.  You'll certainly hear the difference.

At Bellari we take tube based equipment very seriously. No 48V plate voltages here. We have removed the high cost of point to point wiring and inefficient construction techniques and left the pure analog musical sound that class "A" tubes can offer. Bellari is available to everyone, not just the moneyed few.

Bellari is one of those rare values that comes from a perfect blend of function and design. In only seven years Bellari has become a major force in digital recording front ends and for performing musicians. We love our craft and hope music professionals world wide will find joy in using Bellari equipment.

Reference Level Electronics

Complete line of power amps, pre amps,  phono stages, integrated and digital gear.

Designed and Made in Boulder, Colorado.

We have a simple, straightforward design philosophy:

Boulders are made for the reproduction of music exactly as it was performed and recorded.  Boulder electronics are transparent, accurate, fast, rugged and reliable with minimal distortion and noise and absolutely no coloration or “sound” of their own.

Virtually every Boulder ever shipped is still in use; most remain in the hands of their original owners.

The result of fusing the best in design, technology, engineering, materials and manufacturing has resulted in the line of Esoteric products.

As an early innovator in magnetic tape recording and data storage, the TEAC Corporation was founded in Japan in 1953. As a 25 year old member of the TEAC family, ESOTERIC Company's design, engineering and manufacturing improves upon the "state of the art," providing our customers a higher level of audio excellence!

Our goal is simple, to provide new technology and innovation in categories where we know our engineering can improve our end-users listening experience.

When you’ve heard it done right, you’ll know immediately.

Correct presentation in time is the key element to transparency. We experience this every day in our listening to the un-amplified world around us.

Transparency is so much more than just low distortion. It is that rare and special ability of an exceptional piece of audio equipment to get out of the way of the performance and allow the listener to really hear the expression, emotion, and subtlety of each individual performer.

The touch and feel of each instrument becomes profoundly clear - the foundation and the soul of the performance. There should be no equipment bias as to the type of music be it contemporary, jazz, rock, classical, and other forms of musical expression. Herron correctly presents to the listener music as performed and recorded!

Herron offers Line stage tube pre amplifier model VTSP 360, tube phono stage VTPH 2A and mono power M2 solid state amplifiers. See link for more product info.

Phono Stage Special Ad

Heinz Lichtenegger, one of Austria's leading distributors of high-end audio brands, founded PRO-JECT AUDIO SYSTEMS in early 1990. As an audiophile and music lover, Heinz 's interest in turntables and analog playback turned into a passion to create turntables, tonearms and analog accessories that were reasonably priced yet that were uncompromised both mechanically and sonically. This passion is what led him and his like-minded colleagues to launch a new business venture named PRO-JECT AUDIO SYSTEMS.

Rega’s philosophy is to make high quality products at sensible prices, as a means of reproducing music as faithfully as possible.

We are committed to the design and development of new and existing products, both in hi-fi and other areas, that will perpetuate Rega’s values of quality and value for money.

By 1983 the time had come for Rega to design and build its own tonearm and so the world famous RB300 (Rega Britain) was born. The high pressure die-cast silicon alloy tube alone took two years to develop alongside the UK's largest die-cast company. The work and our casting subsequently won us an "international casting award" from America for what is still considered today to be a technically impossible casting.
