Welcome to a new world of musical realism! The Revelation multi-equalisation format RIAA equalizer stages welcome you to that new world.
Available in moving magnet and moving coil versions, the Revelation M and Revelation C equalizer stages are the multi-format variants of the Reflex M and C phono stages — there is no difference except the additional record EQ switching.
They're a must for any serious record collector. It's quite amazing how they can make early LPs and 78 rpm records sound as tonally balanced and fresh as some of todays modern vinyl records.
Three 3-way switches provide a matrix of equalisation curves covering virtually all electric phonograph records ever released, including today's modern RIAA pressings.
See the different equalisation curves, the labels and years they were used, and you'll realise how special these multi-format phono stages are.

Media Reviews
"...ultimately I preferred the more complete sonic picture the Graham Slee painted in terms of the detail it extracted and its outstanding timing. Plus, the selectable EQ curves were a huge bonus for extracting everything possible from the oldest records in my collection.
[Oliver Amnuayphol, Graham Slee Revelation M Phono Stage, SoundStage! Access, Feb 2014]
"...the real steal is undoubtedly the Graham Slee combination. Offering solid performance at an extremely affordable price, it also provides the listener with a beautifully engineered, switchable EQ set-up that brings older records to vivid life. The benefits are hard to credit until you experience them, so critical are they to proper vinyl replay and the full musical enjoyment of recorded performances that every serious phono-stage should offer the facility. The Revelation is well-named, and along with a decent high-output cartridge represents the gateway to true high-end analogue performance. It says on the instruction manual, “Welcome to a new world of musical realism”. For once, I don’t think that’s overstating the case; record collectors everywhere should hear one of these!
[Roy Gregory, Graham Slee Revelation, Hi-Fi +, May 2008]
"The Jazz Club is also accomplished in this respect, but the Revelation moved the performance up a few notches, with records sounding noticeably cleaner.
[Tony Bolton, Graham Slee Revelation, Hi-Fi World, May 2008]
"...I was pleased with the easy-going, not noisy way that the Revelation seemed handle any music....it's true that many of these recordings rise to another level when correctly equalized, weird things disappear and the original tonal balance all of a sudden makes much more sense. It is then when multi-EQ phono stages such as Graham Slee Revelation M become highly valuable.
