Review: Excellent - Damn! It’s too good for this 40 year old vinyl 😂
Review: A sound investment - I’m fortunate enough to run two hi fi systems: a main setup in the living room and a smaller, vinyl focused system elsewhere in the house. Until recently, the secondary system relied on the built in phono stage of the Audiolab 6000A, fed by a Pro Ject Debut Carbon Evo. I was perfectly content with the sound, but I also knew it sat a few rungs below the performance of my main system. I’d often considered giving it a lift with a dedicated phono stage, and after reading several positive reviews of the iFi Zen Phono 3, I finally decided to try it. I’m naturally sceptical of claims that any piece of equipment performs miracles, and I won’t make those claims here. Does it make a difference? Yes. Is it a dramatic, night and day transformation? No. But the improvement is real and worthwhile. The best way I can describe it is this: it’s like looking at a scene through a window, then opening the window to get a clearer, more immediate view. Everything is still there, but more alive, more focused, and more detailed. Drums have a little extra snap, instruments separate more cleanly, and recordings feel clearer and more engaging. I’m using it with a moving magnet cartridge, so I can’t comment on its moving coil performance, though it’s reassuring to have those loading options at this price point. It’s not a boutique piece of kit, but in a sensibly matched system it does exactly what it should—complement and enhance the sound. Overall, I’m very happy with the Zen Phono 3 and glad I added it to the system.

## Features

- The ZEN Phono 3 supports four MM/MC gain selections from 36 to 72 dB and four input impedance parameters.
- Mix and match gain and charge settings independently of each other with the brand new charging button, ensuring optimal compatibility with a wide range of cartridges and allowing you to achieve the "perfect" sound.
- Electrical insulation reduces noise pollution from the analog stage, ensuring only audio is amplified and keeps the floor quiet.
- With an EIN (equivalent input noise) of -151dBV, this phono level exceeds some Class A+ models by 20dBV, ensuring super quiet floor noise
- Features an accurate RIAA equalizer circuit with ±0.15dB tolerance from 20Hz to 20kHz, ensuring faithful reproduction of your vinyl records with exceptional accuracy

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Sounds great
*by D***R on 25 July 2024*

Much improved over the built in phono stage I was using. Like it. Thought it was meant to power off after some time not being used, but stays on. Would but again and recommend.
