PS2 phono preamplifier

The PS2 is a “one box” version of the award winning PS1, using the same circuit as the PS1 with a simplified power supply. Excellent value, it is built to the same high standard, hand made and hard wired. It will complement the finest quality Moving Magnet cartridges or Moving Coil with our optional transformer.

Regardless of the other components in your system we guarantee you will hear more “warmth and colour” with a PS2.

We realised that not everyone with a modest LP collection can aspire to a “Hi End” phono stage, so we have kept all the important features of the PS1 so preserving the essential sound quality of a pure valve phono stage, at a price which compares with other “entry level” units.

The PS2 is hand built by the same team as the PS1 and PS3 using the same hand built methods that ensure the consistent quality that Icon Audio are known for.

New is the improved black finish, updated power supply and a “stereo/mono” switch to reduce the noise of mono recordings.
