Title: Vision Phono Preamp, Absolute Sound Product of the Year
Post by: avahifi on 9 Dec 2016, 08:18 pm

We got a "product of the year' award for the Vision Phono Preamp in the new January, 2107 issue of The Absolute Sound (page 78).

There were two phono preamps receiving this great award; ours which costs $499, and another one that costs $72,000. :)

I note that aside from a couple of mini-dacs and a headphone cable, the Vision Phono preamp was the least expensive audio component receiving this award in any category.  For most items multiply our price x 10 or more 

Believe it, we do offer high value audio equipment.

Congratulations Frank.  :thumb:  It is one fine unit, stand-a-lone or built in  (as mine is). Well deserved on all counts.  8)

Congratulations !  Very cool and rightly deserved.

My Vision Phono MM is happy in my Insight+  preamp. And it gets LOTS of use.

Cheers Frank and staff,

Mark

If I ever get back into vinyl (not likely), I think I'll opt for the AVA unit. I wonder how the maker of the other unit justifies the extra $71,500 cost?
