PHONO-l LX Phono Preamplifier

Unlock the True Potential of Your Vinyl. Precision Amplification, Pure Musicality.

When we unveiled our CALON Dual Mono Precision Phono Preamplifier at Motor World during High End Munich 2024, it set a new benchmark for what a phono stage could be. PHONO-1L X Nine years in the making. Better than ever. Nine years on from its debut – and following landmark upgrades to MkII in 2019 and the ‘L’ in 2022 – PHONO-1 enters its most significant evolution yet. Darker backgrounds. Higher dynamic range. Razor-sharp spatial imaging. And a vocal texture so lifelike, the performance feels present in the room. From that moment, one question drove us: what could those breakthroughs mean for the preamplifier that started it all? The answer is PHONO-1 LX. This isn’t refinement for refinement’s sake. Every sonic improvement has been matched by a more tactile, premium feel and a visual presence worthy of the engineering within.

New Upgraded PCB
Our upgraded PCB features a superior gold-plated finish, ensuring consistent, high-quality component soldering across every connection. Designed for long- term reliability, it allows each circuit to perform at its best – every time.

Upgraded Internal DC Power Supply
Improved components in the internal DC power supply deliver cleaner, more stable DC power throughout. The result is reduced noise and a more consistent power feed to each circuit – directly enhancing the performance of the Phono Preamplifier.

New 2-way Phono Amplier Earthing Switch
The new 2-way earthing switch offers a longer operational lifetime and easier operation, toggling simply between ‘Earth Lift’ or ‘Earth Connection’ to suit your audio setup.

Improved AC Input
A specialised inductor on the AC input impedes high-frequency interference before it enters the circuit, with a second inductor on the post-transformer output providing an additional layer of filtering – keeping the feed to the DC power supply circuit free from unwanted RF interference.

Vertere Blue-Green Power Indicator LED
The new blue-green power indicator LED aligns the PHONO-1LX visually with the DG X, Tempo, Imperium and CALON – giving the unit a striking, consistent look across the product range.

New Chassis & Cover
The new cover features a fine textured, metallic silver finish with a premium tactile feel – giving the PHONO-1LX a bold, refined look worthy of any high-end setup. Eliminating the top four fixing screws creates a cleaner, uninterrupted aesthetic, bringing the PHONO-1LX in line with the CALON and cementing its place in a family of products design

Cleaner power. Silence by design.

A redesigned AC input blocks unwanted interference at the source. Paired with an upgraded internal DC power supply, the result is a dramatically quieter background and the detail your records always had.

Hidden details. Audible improvements.

Uprated gold-plated PCB brings superior soldering quality, consistency and long-term reliability at every connection. Designed to perform at its best, every time.
