For sale is my own Tom Evans 'Groove SRX mark 11' phono stage. This is the top phono stage in the 'Groove' series and features the same 'front-end' circuitry as the much more expensive Tom Evans 'Mastergroove' phono stage. Designed to work with mc cartridges of between 0.2 to 0.4 mV but actually the high overload margins (approx' 20mV!) and very low noise (-120db) means that quite a variety of cartridges can be catered for. My Audio Note IO (0.05mV!) works fine and sounds lovely despite being intended for use with a suitable step-up-transformer (SUT). Cartridge loading is user adjustable from 112 to 1000 ohms and tonearm cable capacitance can also be compensated for If required. Rave reviews on line and at least one well-known reviewer uses this phono stage as his 'reference'. I'm selling because I recently upgraded to a Tom Evans 'Mastergroove' phono stage.

The phono stage was upgraded by Tom Evans to the then latest spec, in 2020. Comes with an external Tom Evans power supply. Talk to me about an audition and possible 'sale or return' arrangement.
