Product Description
Introducing Pluto 2
Pluto 2 is the updated version of our Pluto Phono Preamp. The idea is the same: great sound that doesn't break the bank. We've added features like higher gain, active filtering, and an overhauled power supply, all in a sleeker and more compact package.
Fully Shielded Aluminum Enclosure
We gave Pluto a facelift with a compact aluminum housing featuring precision machined details. The enclosure helps keep the inner workings safe from interference and noise that can be introduced by nearby cables or electronics.
Dual Gain Stage and a Redesigned Power Supply
Pluto 2 features a second gain stage -- boosting the gain level from 36 dB (single stage) to 41 dB. Having this additional amplification at the start of the audio path, rather than at your speaker/amp volume knob, delivers higher output levels and minimizes distortion.
With the help of a voltage converter, we've updated the grounding scheme to increase the stability of the circuit. This helps push Pluto's performance specs further with less crosstalk, lower distortion, and a higher signal-to-noise ratio (SNR).
Active Subsonic Filter
We've upgraded the subsonic filter on Pluto 2 to an active design that more accurately eliminates inaudible frequencies from your speaker's workload. Certain vibrations (for example, footfalls produced by walking near your turntable) might be inaudible to the human ear, but can still play through your speakers at the expense of efficiency. Our active filter keeps your music sounding more true to life by attenuating only the frequencies you don't want to hear.

I have this very old Pioneer Turntable and I really wanted to start playing vinyls again, so after looking around and looking at the reviews I settled on the Pluto. I could not believe the sound that came out of my speakers, very crisp and clear with no static or popping that I use to experience playing albums.Oh another reason to purchase the Pluto it is made in the good OLD USA!!!! I try to buy made in America when possible. It is even signed off by one of the techs, how cool is that.!!You won't be sorry.

Great performer and great value. I own several phonostages at various price point and this little thing really surprised me as far as how good it sounds and how quiet it is. Recommended.

The title may seem a bit extreme but I have had a number of high end pre amps that never really sounded that great.Thanks for the high quality, hand built and tested at a very reasonable price.If in any doubt order one of these today.

Comparing with the previous 10 buck radio shack Realistic this 100 bucks one should be a 10 times batter, should it?

First, I didn’t tear out the imbedded preamp of my Audiotechnica AT-LP 120 usb. I bypassed the internal pre and what a major improvement. I hear music I hadn’t heard before. What a wonderful, sweet surprise. Highly recommended.

Me dejo muy sorprendido porque hizo que mi Sumiko Rainier suene muy bien con Jazz. Es el pairing perfecto con cartuchos calidos. Abre mucho el soundstage y agrega coloracion a las frequencias altas
