- For low-output moving coil cartridges
- Fast-Active preamp and equalisation technology
- Inherent reduced vinyl click and pop characteristic
- Rock steady sound stage
- Superb "3D" performance
- Super-classic ground configuration
- Can be upgraded by using a PSU1 unipolar power supply instead of the "green" switched mode unit supplied
We think the Gram Amp 3 Fanfare is unique in being an entry level phono stage dedicated to moving coil cartridges.
Making the perfect partner to budget moving coils, the Gram Amp 3 Fanfare's electronics are unencumbered with the compromises a dual MM/MC phono stage often has. It lifts the veil on your music while keeping a firm grip on it for a rock solid presentation.
Completely redesigned in 2009, and as of September 2012 "V3" is housed in our own extruded aluminium "silver" anodised slim-line enclosure.
