Bel Canto e.One PHONO Preamplifier
The Bel Canto e.One Phono is a high-performance phono preamplifier designed for discerning vinyl enthusiasts who demand exceptional clarity, dynamic resolution, and ultra-low noise from their analog playback system. Engineered with a cutting-edge, optimized two-stage architecture, the e.One Phono features a Discrete Single Stage Amplifier (DSSA) based on a single-stage folded cascode design, capable of delivering over 500mA of peak current output. This advanced amplifier topology ensures ultra-fast, low-noise amplification with distortion kept below 0.01% at 2V RMS/1kHz, and a wide signal bandwidth from 1Hz to 50kHz.
Compatible with both MM (moving magnet) and MC (moving coil) cartridges, the e.One Phono offers highly customizable gain (38dB to 60dB) and resistance settings via rear-panel DIP switches, allowing precise cartridge matching for optimal sonic performance.
The high-precision RIAA network achieves frequency response accuracy within ±0.2dB from 20Hz to 20kHz, ensuring faithful reproduction of the original recording.
Its channel-independent, multi-stage power supply and ground-optimized PCB layout minimize noise and interference, preserving the delicate nuances of vinyl playback.
The compact, robust chassis (8.5" W x 3.5" H x 12" D, weighing 10 lbs) features a minimalist front panel with a single blue LED, matching the aesthetic of Bel Canto's e.One series components.
Power consumption is low (10W in operation, 0W when off), and the unit supports both 100-120VAC and 230-240VAC operation.
The e.One Phono is widely praised for its sweet, fluid, and inviting sound signature, delivering exceptional musicality with deep soundstage, precise instrument placement, and a natural, non-fatiguing tonal balance. Its ultra-low noise floor and high dynamic range make it suitable for both classical and contemporary genres, appealing to audiophiles who value both technical excellence and musical enjoyment.

PHONO Preamplifier Features
DSSA, Discreet Single Stage Amplifier
This is a very fast, low noise amplifier with a single-stage folded cascode architecture and over 500mA of peak current output capability. It maintains very low constant distortion levels through the audio band because of its high open-loop bandwidth. The DSSA module brings a further element of dynamic resolution and contrast to the e.One Phono. The vertical modular design permits a tight, efficient Printed Circuit Board (PCB) layout that combines the best of IC based and discrete component design.
Gain and Resistance Customization
The PHONO can work with a wide variety of cartridges by adjusting the dip switches for gain and resistance on the back of the unit.
