Icon Audio PS3 Phonostage

March 6, 2011

Steve Harris and Paul Miller have posted a review of the Icon Audio PS3 phonstage (£1699) at Hi-Fi News and Record Review. His conclusions:

This robust-looking pairing is clearly aimed at the real valve enthusiast with its multiplicity of tubes. It offers low midrange distortion and respectable bass extension, catering for both moving-coil and moving-magnet cartridges (although as noted, there is a cheaper MM-only option). This was declared winner in our Group Test: ‘consistent, always very good, always musical, always inviting’. In fact a truly excellent all-rounder.
