“I'm not sophisticated enough to describe the sound with the sort of flowery language one frequently sees in product reviews. So I'll simply say - Great product at a great price. What's not to like? Five stars for Upscale Audio too.”

“Still Sounding good Not saying it s the best out here you have to know what you are doing. Like set up turntable tonearm . Cartridge . good recording. All so get the .ACCU .BOX S2. The s2 is a good source. Help me pick the next phono stage.”

“this phono box sound real good it is not a push over. I have the ultra 500 phono box with the Accu box s2 high end power supply . before i had the ( Moon by Simaudio 110lp V2 phono ) the Ultra more excellently sound quality . make sure your turntable is set up an speed is 33/3 tonearm . also get the ACCU box s2 high end power supply. To set turntable speed get the (KAB) SPEEDSTROBE.”

“This is a decent phonostage, all though I have not tried too many. Subjectively I think it sounds slightly worse than the integrated pre-amp on the Rogue Audio Cronus Magnum. However, that's a tricky comparison because one is a tube stage that's part of an expensive integrated amp. The Pro-Ject also has a much lower noise floor, compared to the original Cronus Magnum. I do get some noise, but that could be environmental as I have a fairly noisy EMF environment. No phono stage is noise-free, and the noise I did get was only when I played nothing and turned up the volume on my pre-amp very high. It didn't affect normal listening. The jumper switches were a little confusing, but I was able to figure them out after a bunch of google searches and looking through the manual. As far as audio quality goes, I'm very happy with the device. My records sound good and crisp.”

“I bought this Phonostage on the recommendation of Bill at Upscale Audio to pair with the Pro-Ject Debut Carbon EVO Turntable. It is super quiet, small and can be left on at all times discreetly out of sight behind the turntable. The only recommendation I would give to anyone considering the same pairing is to use the 3DB boost switch setting as it was too quiet without it.”
