PRODUCT REVIEW: 'GETS THE VERY BEST FROM ANY CARTRIDGE' (seemingly)...

Says Adam Smith about the new Primare R35 phono stage in HiFi News’ May issue. ‘…the R35 has strengths that transcend its price point, especially in the way it projects performances out into the room. lt can setup a realistically three-dimensional soundstage with seemingly little effort, while also offering an impressive sense of front-to-back layering. As a result, backing effects are typically kept exactly where they need to be and are not unrealistically pulled to the fore, just as lead instrumentalists and vocalists are sharply focused… ln practice, it is an incredibly flexible and capable phono stage that seemingly has the ability to extract the very best from any cartridge that crosses it path. A rare feat at any price, this only further pumps up the R35’s value’.

"The R35 has both XLR and RCA output connections, while the power supply is a linear, discrete type based around a toroidal transformer in a mu-metal case. This is impressive stuff at any price point, but at the R35’s affordable price tag, it’s sensational."

PRODUCT REVIEW: AUDIOGRADE EDITOR'S PICK

Audiograde’s Andrew Simpson just loves Primare’s R35 phono stage. Awarding his ultimate ‘Editor’s Pick honour in a recent review, he says the R35 “can rival the best on spec alone, while not sacrificing what sets it apart from most at the price which is its sheer musical performance. It has depth and detail in spades, with an analogue character that underlines vinyl’s enduring appeal. Its bass control is also class leading, and when you put all this together, the package is outstanding.”
