Creek Audio is well respected for the phono options it offers.

Whilst it is possible to purchase a separate Creek phono pre-amplifier, if indeed you own a Creek amplifier and don’t want to add another piece of equipment, you can simply choose the option to have a plug-in phono board fitted internally.

Creek amplifiers and pre-amplifiers have always been designed to permit the first input to be interrupted by a plug-in board. Once this is fitted, the first input is then automatically configured to accommodate the phono connection.

Four versions of these boards are available – two for moving magnet and two for moving coil. In both cases there is a standard and special edition version.
