EAT E-Glo 2 – a tube phono preamplifier with backlight
30.11.2024 09:30
European Audio Team (EAT) has introduced the E-Glo 2 dual-block MM/MC tube phono preamplifier. An interesting feature of the device is the choice of color gamut of the backlight of the tubes located on the top panel of the device.
The EAT E-Glo 2 phono preamplifier is equipped with four ECC83 tubes and two ECC88 tubes. According to the manufacturer, the user can experiment with different compatible tubes, achieving a sound that matches his tastes to the maximum extent. The EAT E-Glo 2 phono preamplifier has a fully balanced input stage with a Lundahl LL1932 step-up transformer for the MC input. The transformer provides a gain of 45 dB, sufficient for working with moving coil (MC) heads. The equalization stage here is completely passive.
According to the manufacturer, the phono preamplifier has a lower noise level than is usually achievable with tube phono preamplifiers. The EAT E-Glo 2 phono preamplifier circuit uses only high-quality components, such as Mundorf and WIMA capacitors.
The EAT E-Glo 2 phono preamplifier power supply is housed in a separate case and is based on a toroidal transformer with double shielding. The power supply circuit uses low-noise resistors and high-quality capacitors for additional protection of the phono preamplifier from electromagnetic interference and interference. The EAT E-Glo 2 tube dual-block MM/MC phono preamplifier is now available at a recommended retail price of $9,999.

Burson Audio Timekeeper Voyager – High-Performance Monoblocks
Burson Audio has introduced the Timekeeper Voyager mono power amplifiers, operating in Class AB and delivering up to 200 watts per channel into a 4 Ohm load. The Timekeeper series of amplifiers has been in development at Burson Audio for over fifteen years. The latest Voyager model is designed to operate at high idle current, allowing the transistors to operate in their most linear range, thereby minimizing distortion. Despite consuming over 100 Watts in standby mode, the Voyager achieves Class AB performance in a compact design, rivaling much larger amplifiers.
