Graham Slee Gram Amp 3 Fanfare

5-stars, What Hi-Fi? Sound and Vision, June 2013

Absolutely unique: the only dedicated entry-level MC phono stage in the world — the Gram Amp 3 'Fanfare' extracts more music from vinyl than you'd think possible for its price and beyond!

Completely redesigned in 2009, and as of September 2012 "V3" is housed in our own extruded aluminium slim-line enclosure.

It lifts the veil on the music, getting rid of the lumpy bass moving coil is often characterised with. The sound-stage is opened up separating instruments and vocals into their rightful sound-stage positions.

Features

• Fast-Active preamp and equalisation technology
• Inherent reduced vinyl click and pop characteristic
• Rock steady sound stage
• Truly 3D performance
• Superior classic ground configuration
• Can be upgraded by using a PSU1 unipolar power supply instead of the "green" switched mode unit supplied

Media Reviews

"The Fanfare kept everything nice and tidy, allowing the listener to plunge into the heart of the music, while still being able to distinguish individual elements: a subtle bass riff, the stroke of a brush on a snare drum, the intake of a singer's breath... extracting both the music and emotion with utter conviction. The midrange textures were almost tangible, the treble sweet and airy, the bass deep and authoritative.
