Musical Surroundings - Phonomena II+ phono preamp

The Phonomena II+ Phono Preamplifier

The Phonomena series, designed by Michael Yee and Made in California, was first introduced 15 years ago. The Phonomena series with its dual-mono, discrete circuitry has represented the best sounding, most flexible phono stages retailing for under $1,000 . The original Phonomena began shipping in 1999! The Phonomena II, introduced in early 2008, has enjoyed a very successful 6 1/2 year run. Now the new Phonomena II+ with a similar chassis design to the Nova II will be available in both silver and black. It has a new circuit board design that yields even greater neutrality and musicality.

The Phonomena II+ features an improved chassis design, based on our more expensive Nova II, and is available in both black and silver finish. Boasting a new circuit board layout, the Phonomena II+ delivers discrete dual-mono signal paths, affording the listener more vibrant and dynamic music reproduction with a “blacker” background. Expertly made, inside and out, the Phonomena II+’s small footprint optimizes signal path integrity, while its black or silver finish options are sure to match the rest of your components. The Phonomena II+ is proudly Made in the USA and provides phenomenal sound and flexibility at an affordable price.

“The sound of the Phonomena II is alive and electrifying with its release of dynamic energy. For balance and value, the Phonomena II phono preamp is a stunner.” - LP Gear
