"This Graham Slee is a superb and special sounding MM phono preamp. Later you could add a step-up transformer if you’re going to a moving coil cartridge. For now why not get more from your MM, high-output moving coil or moving iron cartridge?"

We couldn't have put it better, and for the step-up transformer, what better than our Elevator EXP?

Designed for moving magnet, moving iron and high output moving coil cartridges, the Era Gold V MM phono stage was our very first "ultra-linear" design.

In 2002, partnered with our Elevator EXP moving coil step-up amplifier, it was the best moving coil phono stage TNT reviewer, Geoff Husband, had ever heard.

• Truly 3D performance

Media Reviews

"OK I'm going to nail my colours to the mast... Lucio has banned us from saying "best I've ever heard" "never heard anything as good" etc as it begs the question "compared to what?" and is often meaningless hype. But here I've listed the runners and riders, added the caveat "in my system and room" and finally "to my ears", so here goes. The Era Gold + Elevator EXP is the best phono combination for MC's I've ever heard - period...

[Geoff Husband, TNT Audio, July 2002]

"Given its price and its miraculous - and this agnostic means miraculous - performance. I recommend the GSP Audio Era Gold Mk.V as enthusiastically, if not more so, as I've recommended any product I've reviewed and recommended in all the years I've been doing this.

[Michael Fremer, Analog Corner, Stereophile, January 2004]

"This amazing-sounding product took me by surprise. I continue to recommend it for high-output moving coil cartridges...
