Verdict: "EAT might have done too good a job: this baby all but obviates the need for the E-Glo S, which I reckon now deserves a Mk II update, because it does offer greater slam. That said, the Petit strikes me as more accurate, it's a joy to use, it affords exceptional cartridge matching and its price begs the use of the 'B' word. Yes, this is a bargain and a natural mate for that other Outstanding buy, the EAT Jo No5 MC cartridge."

Elegant high-end smaller sibling of the award winning E-Glo S!

E-Glo Petit is the small sibling of the highly acclaimed and award winning E-Glo S. With its fully discreet, OpAmp-less design, we were able to achieve an outstanding sound in a small and compact form factor. Stunning dynamics, a clear midrange and high resolution definition is what makes E-Glo Petit punch way above its weight.

• Hybrid tube design with 12AX7 tubes
• MM & MC capability
• Precise RIAA equalisation
• Adjustable impedance and capacitance
• Subsonic filter switchable
• Fully discrete circuitry
• Advanced power supply
• Aluminium casing with wooden side panels

With our special designed power supply we enabled the tubes to stay "hot" at all times. That ensures that they perform at their maximum during the entire listening session. We have put a lot of time and effort in getting the power supply just right for E-Glo Petit. As we believe it is a critical and important part of the signal path. Therefore we designed it to be regulated and well filtrated for better performance of the complete package. With the use of very special low noise J-FET transistors of the type 2SK209 in a quad-setup, E-Glo Petit reached its incredible and unique Signal to Noise Ratio of 87 decibels. No other tube phono preamplifier on the market is even getting near those results.
