Fluance PA10 High Fidelity Phono Preamp Review

I don’t know about you, but I have an old record player. It’s not the best quality and it doesn’t work as well as a CD or mp3 player. But that is what makes it so special to me – because it reminds me of how my mom played her records when I was little and all those memories flood back to me. And now, with the Fluance PA10 High Fidelity Phono Preamp, I can hear those same sounds on my stereo again!

The sound is incredible for such an affordable device. The preamp also has features like ground wire installation and output pad which will make your whole home system better than ever before!

I definitely recommend this product if you are looking for something high quality, but at an affordable price. In this article I will review Fluance PA10 High Fidelity Phono Preamp.

The Pros

  • Solidly built: It doesn’t feel like it’s cheaply made, even when you pick it up! The materials are all high quality, and the body is sturdy enough to keep from falling apart on you. It’s very low profile so you can easily place it anywhere.
  • Clean sound: If you’re used to listening to your records through a portable device, then you’ll be blown away by the clean and clear sound of these high fidelity speakers. It’s like having an entirely new record collection! You can hear every little detail in the song, even if it was previously muted. This is due to the full balanced circuitry.
  • Easy to use: You don’t need an instruction manual to figure out how to use this device! It’s very simple, and you can easily customize it for your needs. The ground wire is something that you definitely want to do though because the sound quality will increase dramatically when you have it installed.

  • Great price: A high quality product like this is definitely worth the money. Think about how much you spend on records! Save some of that money and buy a great preamplifier at an affordable cost. I can’t imagine getting a better deal anywhere else.

The Cons

  • No power button: You have to unplug this device in order to turn it off. I would like the option of being able to power it off, so that its not using energy in standby mode when we don’t need it on.
  • No volume control: I also would like to be able to turn the volume down when using this device. Maybe I’m not used to such great sound quality yet, but it’s loud enough that I can hear it over my television!
