EAT E-Glo Petit Vacuum Tube Phono Preamplifier

Elegant High-End Tube Phono Preamplifier with Ultra Slim Design

Let's face it. No matter where you live, whether you're in a cramped apartment or a sprawling mansion, space almost always seems to be at premium. Go compact with the new E-Glo Petit phono preamplifier from the European Audio Team (EAT) and still enjoy the big sound and ample performance that you've come to expect from these vinyl playback wizards.

An elegant high-end hybrid tube phono preamplifier with ultra slim design, the E-Glo Petit is the small sibling of the highly acclaimed and award-winning E-Glo S from EAT. With its fully discreet, OpAmp-less design, EAT was able to achieve an outstanding sound in a small and compact form factor. Stunning dynamics, a clear midrange, and high resolution definition is what makes E-Glo Petit punch way above its weight.

Advanced Hybrid Tube Design

Employing fully discrete circuitry, the E-Glo Petit uses reliable, two long-life 12AX7 dual triode vacuum tubes. The specially designed power supply enables the tubes to stay "warm" at all times so that your preamp is ready to sound its best as soon as you start up the music. The tubes will perform at their maximum during the entire listening session. EAT has put a lot of time and effort in getting the power supply just right for E-Glo Petit, since it is a critical and important part of the signal path. Therefore they designed it to be regulated and well filtrated for better performance of the complete package.

With the use of very special low noise type-2SK209J FET transistors in a quad-setup in cascode-parallel for the input, the E-Glo Petit achieves its incredible and unique signal-to-noise ratio of 87 decibels. No other tube phono preamplifier on the market that we know of achieves similar results.

Highly Configurable to Suit Any Cartridge

The E-Glo Petit is highly configurable to suit any phono cartridge, whether it's a MM moving magnet or MC moving coil, and the adjustments are easy, thanks to easy, attractive, front panel controls and switches that feel nice to the hand.

You can precisely set the input impedance (low output MC cartridges, 10, 18, 43, 75, 150, 300, 600, 1200 Ohm or high output MC cartridges 30, 36, 42, 47, 53, 59, 65, 75 K Ohm), and load capacity (50, 150, 270, 370, 520, 620 pf). Gain is also adjustable (40, 45, 50, 60, 65, 70 dB).

The E-Glo Petit also offers precise RIAA equalization plus a switchable subsonic filter switchable. The aluminum casing with wooden side panels offers a retro look reminiscent of a classic reel-to-reel tape deck. Connections consist of one RCA input pair and one RCA output pair.

"EAT might have done too good a job: this baby all but obviates the need for the E-Glo S, which I reckon now deserves a Mk II update, because it does offer greater slam. That said, the Petit strikes me as more accurate, it's a joy to use, it affords exceptional cartridge matching and its price begs the use of the 'B' word. Yes, this is a bargain and a natural mate for that other Outstanding buy, the EAT Jo No5 MC cartridge."
