Sutherland 20/20 phono preamp

SUTHERLAND ENGINEERING 20/20 PHONO PREAMP

2012 Stereophile Class A Recommended Component

2012 The Absolute Sound Editors Choice Awards

"It's simple and easy to use, georgeous to behold, beautifully built and an absolutely superb sonic performer."
- Brian Damkroger, Stereophile.com

The single-chassis, solid state, dual-mono 20/20 phono preamp is derived from the best elements of the PH3D and the Hubble. The signal path is almost the same as the Hubble and its construction is as simple as the PH3D. Its dual-mono design offers the ultimate in channel separation.

Circuit board umpers are used to set gain and loading, and the circuit boards themselves are lavishly executed with top quality components employed throughout. Unlike earlier Sutherland designs, which employed a bank of D battery cells, the 20/20 uses two outboard power supplies mated to several stages of low-pass RC filtering.

The 20/20 offers power, control, vivid tonal colors, transparency, resolution, and detail. The 20/20 is also the most affordable phono preamp among its Stereophile Class A rated peers.
