Gram Amp 2 Special Edition:
The Gram Amp 2 Special Edition phono preamp is the big brother to the Gram Amp 2 phono pre amp and was developed in response to demands from the American market.

Graham Slee Gram Amp 2 Special EditionPossessing more power, an increased internal power rail, and superior interior voltage regulation (with increased gain and overload margins) the Gram Amp 2 Special Edition pre amp is about more space and more dynamics neatly packed into what is already a top rated design.

Thanks to excellent reviews in Europe and America the Gram Amp 2 SE phono preamp is now available here in the UK.

The new model has undergone further sonic refinement, and now comes in a new look case. Should the customer wish to move to utilising expensive low output moving coil cartridges, then the new Elevator Fanfare allows for a simplified cost effective upgrade path.

"...all the earmarks of a giant killer...the more you listen to this thing on its own, the more you'll discover that you can play it for hours without fatigue...the presentation had a rare top to bottom cohesiveness, with a tonal balance unusually rich, lush, and, well, beautiful...It's love at first sound between the Gram Amp and vocalists, while violins are marvelously silken..."
Paul Seydor, Absolute Analog, The Absolute Sound, Feb/Mar 2002.

"...a startling little machine. In the price versus quality sweepstakes, it is a winner in every way that counts: musicality, definition, preservation of instrumental and human voice timbre, speed, fullness of sound and, finally, price.."
Neil Walker, EnjoyTheMusic.Com, Issue 0402.

"...they'll be amazed by its sound...the Gram delivered genuine solidity in the mid-band and mid-bass. It was quiet, and free from the thinness, edge, and grain you usually get at this price..."
Michael Fremer, Analog Corner, Stereophile, June 2002.
