I ended up going with the EAT E-glo S model. Just got it and am breaking it in but right out of the box more detail and real sounding than my previous phono.
EAT E-Glo Petite Hybrid phono stage
I’m considering upgrading my PS Audio Nuwave phono stage and the EAT was recommended by a dealer I’ve purchased from in the past. Has anyone compared or own the EAT E-Glo series phono stages. The Petite is definitely affordable at $1495.00 but will it make enough of an improvement over what I currently have?
I’m using a new Zephyr MIMC Star cart on an Acoustic Solid TT with an Audion 300b Special Edition Integrated amp into Zu Soul Superfly speakers.
Thanks,
Rick

Congrats, don’t think you’ll b disappointed. Really enjoy a pr. of Bugle Boys n the Petite, Mullards were a bit too rich, a bit sluggish, but the Amprex takes the whole thing up a notch, very transparent, dynamic. None of the harshness, or glare, I’ve sometimes heard in preamps. Very musical, yet dimensional. May look into another phono cable, what u using...? |
Still breaking it in but I’ve immediately noticed how real the instruments sound and more separation. I hope after breaking the vocals stand out a bit more, they seem a little pulled back at times right now. As as far as the phono cable, the one from the TT is hardwired Rega and I know it isn’t the best. I would love to change it but haven’t found an easy replacement solution yet. The cable going from the phono to power amp is a True Zen that I’m trying out. |
Added a pr. of Audio Envy phono cables from RMAF to a Bob’s Sky SUT. Very, very good! Smooth, open, detailed. The ‘Captain’ makes very nice cables, nicely engineered, great values. Together, Bob’s device adds refinement, space, a certain relaxation which creates the space for inner detail to ‘flower & flow’, Van Morrison’s ‘’Versitile’ lp goes from a good lp to a current fave... the E.A.T Petite has a beautifully nuanced midrange, sweet treble, and plenty of textured bass 4 my needs. The Dyna 20xL sounds so musical & involving... |
This a little after the first post but FYI. I also have the Petit, with EAT Jo No 8 cartridge, Rogue RH 5 preamp and it is a great sounding combo. And then I added the
Sbooster BOTW P&P ECO MKII
power supply that Kevin at Upscale audio gave a rave review. He is right! It took it to yet another level. It's hard to believe but I think it had great impact on the performance of the Petit, which is already outstanding. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eFEC-uQhAAA |
