Most of the Nerve Audio products were born from demand. At the time we started the PH-1 Phonostage design there were few, if any, good quality inexpensive phonostages on the market. We designed the PH-1 for two markets. We would like the custom install market to embrace the product for retrofit turntables in home theater systems. At the same time we built quality and performance into the product for the budget minded audiophile. The PH-1 will match perform with phonostages in the $250-$350 price points with no problem. Solid construction, minimalist circuit, RIAA Eq. and low profile design.
The PH-1 Moving Magnet phono stage was designed by Jeff Boccaccio and hand made in small quantities overseas. The PH-1 represents our statement about the quality value cross point. Designed for the custom installer and budget conscious audiophile. The slimline, black metal case can be easily hidden behind a theater system for seamless integration, but is a cosmetic edition to any audiophile system. The PH-1 will match perform with phonostages in the $250-$350 price range with no problem. Solid construction, minimalist circuit and low profile design. We would like the custom install market to embrace the product to retrofit turntables in home theater systems that are not equipped with a phonostage in the preamp or receiver. Virtually all receivers less than $800.00 have no phono preamp or phono input ability. A standard Aux input has no phono cartridge specific gain or RIAA equalization.
