Rotel RQ970BX MM/MC phono stage

Superb Rotel RQ-970BX phono stage, ideal for upgrading your amp with or without an internal phono stage. This is an incredibly good product for the money. It has a special Rotel power transformer. The build quality and component choice are superb; signal capacitors are audiophile Rubycon Blackgate; expensive AD744 op amps are used. It has liquidity and sounds musical with nice bass. The sound quality is much better than many internal phono stages.

Either moving magnet or moving coil cartridges can be used by pressing a selector switch on the back.

I have a Hi Fi World article which describes DIY mod to this phono stage to take it to another level of performance.

The unit is in perfect working order and excellent condition, apart from a few scratches on the top of the unit. Comes with user's manual and original box.

You can collect the phono amp in Portsmouth. Price is 65 pounds plus 8 pounds if you want me to post it within UK. Email [email protected]

Someone asked what kind of payment I can accept. You are welcome to collect the Rotel in Portsmouth and pay cash. I am willing to post it using Royal Mail for 8 pounds including 100 pounds compensation. You can pay by cheque, direct bank transfer or pay cash into my bank account.
