🎵 Exceptional Vinyl Performance, A Price No One Beats

The Zphono XRM redefines what a budget phono stage can do—and it outperforms many models costing double or more. With front-panel controls, dual MM/MC inputs, and XLR/RCA outputs, this compact half-rack powerhouse delivers clarity, warmth, and flexibility that serious vinyl fans crave.

Featuring precision RIAA EQ, variable MC loading from 50–1050 Ω, low-noise circuitry, and a clean linear power supply, the Zphono XRM gives your records a transparent, lifelike sound—without costing a fortune.


💬 Vinyl Lovers Say

  • “Quiet, detailed and warm… sounds more like a designer unit than a sub-$600 stage.”
  • “Excellent channel separation and clarity—it lets the music breathe.”
  • “Features you don’t usually see at this price: rumble filter, mono switch, XLR out.”

🛠️ Where It Fits in Your Setup

Connect your turntable(s) via MM or MC input, select on the front panel, then drive your amp or integrated setup through balanced XLR or RCA outputs. The half-rack chassis makes it easy to stack with other gear or tuck neatly into your rack.

Use the rumble filter to remove low-frequency noise. And with headphone-worthy transparency, it works beautifully in both high-end vinyl rigs and home theater front-end setups.


✨ What Makes It Stand Out

  • Dual MM/MC inputs with front-panel selection (no rear panel hassle)
  • Variable MC loading and switchable MM gain (40/50 dB)
  • Accurate RIAA response within 0.2 dB across 20–20 kHz
  • Ultra-low distortion (<0.02% THD) and high SNR—clean, detailed playback
  • XLR + RCA outputs and front-panel mono/rumble switches
  • Linear internal power supply—no noisy wall wart
  • Compact 1U half-rack chassis (8.5″ wide) with premium build and 5-year warranty

🔍 What You’ll Hear

  • Vinyl’s quiet moments are truly silent—no background hiss
  • Depth and detail soar with improved imaging and separation
  • Low-end is tight, accurate, and full-bodied—no muddiness

✅ Final Word

The Zphono XRM delivers professional-grade vinyl sound at a fraction of the cost. Loaded with features and performance that rival phono stages twice its price, it's the unbeatable choice for anyone serious about music—without spending more than they have to.

I really don't have anything to compare this to except for the built in phono stage on my stereo receiver (Yamaha R-N800A). I can tell you it's night and day over that receiver's input in a better way. I really like the extra control with gain and filters this unit gives me. I'm just now getting back into vinyl from back in my 70's era. Retired now so budget is always a concern for me and this one fits. Very happy with it. Will be looking at their power amps next.

I don't like this product, it doesn't come cost to what was advertised. My built-in phono preamp is better. I would not recommend this product.

Very good phono preamp does Hi and Low MC with adjustable load. I’ve tried it on a ATOC9XEB lo and a Denon DL-110 hi works great. Have it hooked to a Onkyo TXRZ-50 AVR couldn’t be happier!
