Product description
This Leema phono stage is designed in the spirit of the brand’s higher-end models, focusing on musical purity, dynamics, and spatial accuracy. It features two fixed gain levels — approximately 36 dB for MM and 62 dB for MC — along with a switchable low-frequency filter to suppress unwanted noise below roughly 20 Hz.

Its simple operation and solid build quality make it an excellent option for anyone who takes their vinyl playback seriously but doesn’t want to spend excessively.
