{"product_id":"fezz-audio-gaia-prestige-phono-stage","title":"Fezz Audio Gaia Prestige Phono Stage","description":"\u003cp\u003eGaia Prestige is the accessible entry to tube phono in the Fezz Audio line — a valve phono stage for both moving-magnet and moving-coil cartridges. It is the component that gives a turntable the tonal body and ease the rest of a Fezz system is built around. At its price it is the most affordable Fezz component of any kind, and the natural place to begin for the vinyl listener adding a tube phono stage from a serious maker.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA phono stage does two jobs a regular line input cannot: it applies the RIAA equalization curve every record is cut with, and it provides the large amount of clean gain a cartridge's tiny signal needs. Gaia Prestige does both with a tube gain stage, handling moving-magnet and moving-coil cartridges so it can sit at the front of most turntable setups. Its power supply is built on a toroidal transformer wound in-house by Fezz, drawing on the family's three decades of transformer engineering through its sister company, Toroidy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMM and MC Compatible.\u003c\/strong\u003e Gaia Prestige accepts both moving-magnet and moving-coil cartridges, covering the great majority of turntables and cartridges in use.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTube Phono Gain.\u003c\/strong\u003e A valve gain stage gives the turntable signal the tonal body and ease that define the Fezz sound, applied at the front of the system where it carries through everything downstream.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIn-House Toroidal Transformer.\u003c\/strong\u003e The Gaia Prestige power supply is built on a toroidal transformer wound in-house by Fezz, a capability the family has from Toroidy, its transformer house operating since 1991.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFinishes.\u003c\/strong\u003e The Fezz colored steel chassis is a signature of the brand, and Gaia Prestige is offered across the full Fezz Audio color range — Black Ice, Sunlight, Big Calm, Burning Red, Moonlight, Evergreen, and Republika — so the phono stage can be chosen to suit the room it will live in.
