“It’s the ideal interface between a high-quality record player and the line input of your amplifier.”

The official EISA award citation reads (emphasis added):  

 EISA PHONO PREAMP 2020-2021 Primare R15  

Housed in a compact case just 35cm wide, Primare’s R15 phono amplifier offers two levels of gain for both moving coil and magnet cartridges, with further adjustments of resistance and capacitance to optimise loading for the cartridge in use. Built with the same care the company brings to its main amplifiers, its low-noise design is informed by the flagship R35 model just as its sound is the familiar ‘Primare’ mix of weight and substance allied to detail and resolution. It’s the ideal interface between a high-quality record player and the line input of your amplifier.
