For the PW1 “Phono Wizard,” Peter at Grimm Audio managed to develop a solid state phono preamplifier that matches his best tube based designs. The PW1 has inputs for MM and MC elements and outputs on RCA and XLR. Thanks to a superiorly shielded power transformer there is no need for an external power supply.
Design Philosophy
Peter believes that designing a good phono preamp is not about achieving the lowest possible harmonic distortion as an isolated parameter. He searches for an elegantly minimalistic circuit design in which he optimizes the ‘electric environment’ of all the active components, in conjunction with a meticulously tuned power supply. Needless to say that passive components like capacitors and resistors are carefully picked.
Listening Result
The result is a well balanced design with Peter’s signature sound, that is very spacious, detailed and open, but at the same time rhythmically addictive and emotionally involving.
Built to Match
The industrial design had to justify this quality. Michiel Uylings of MU1 fame matched the sonics with a simple but powerful cabinet shape and Grimm Audio’s design team made the copper shielded interior look like a piece of art. Truly a design for generations to come.
