Thom said: I highly recommend the iFi Micro iPhono2. It’s a great-sounding, versatile phono stage that should satisfy the desires of discriminating vinylphiles. It’s fairly priced, beautifully built, and a fitting accompaniment to any high-quality audio system.

The gist: Versatile, affordable, and compact phono stage.
