Phasemation EA-1200 Phono Equalizer Amplifier
The Phasemation EA-1200 Phono Equalizer Amplifier is a reference-level vacuum tube phono stage from Phasemation, designed to extract exceptional musical detail and emotional realism from vinyl playback. Built around a non-feedback LCR equalizer architecture, the EA-1200 combines advanced transformer design, precision circuitry, and premium construction to deliver a natural, highly dynamic listening experience.
With dedicated MC and MM support, multiple equalization curves, and a robust tube-based power supply, this phono amplifier is engineered to reveal the full character and nuance of high-quality analog recordings.
Key Highlights
Precision MC Step-Up Transformer
The EA-1200 features a specially tuned moving-coil step-up transformer derived from the Phasemation T-1000 Step-Up Transformer. This carefully optimized design helps deliver exceptional signal purity and improved resolution when used with MC cartridges.
Advanced Non-Feedback LCR Equalizer
A sophisticated LCR equalizer circuit operates without negative feedback, helping preserve speed, dynamics, and musical detail. The circuit uses an SRPP configuration with ECC-803S tubes to provide wide dynamic range and expressive, lifelike sound reproduction.
For additional flexibility, three selectable equalization curves are available:
- RIAA for standard stereo LP playback
- Mono 1 (DECCA) for select mono recordings
- Mono 2 (Columbia) for vintage Columbia mono pressings
Independent left and right channel operation further enhances channel separation and clarity.
High-Performance Tube Power Supply
The EA-1200’s power supply is based on the design used in the Phasemation EA-1000 Phono Equalizer Amplifier. It incorporates a large-capacity R-core transformer, magnetically shielded choke coils, and 5U4G rectifier tubes to deliver stable, low-noise power. A precision three-terminal regulator helps maintain an excellent signal-to-noise ratio for clean, transparent playback.
Premium Construction and Connectivity
Attention to mechanical design and materials helps ensure both durability and optimal sonic performance. The EA-1200 features a solid chassis with a 10 mm thick aluminum front panel designed to minimize vibration and magnetic interference.
High-quality connectors—including Flutech RCA terminals and Neutrik-plated XLR inputs—provide reliable, high-integrity connections for demanding audio systems.
Designed for Serious Vinyl Enthusiasts
With its advanced tube circuitry, precision transformers, and meticulous build quality, the Phasemation EA-1200 offers a compelling solution for audiophiles seeking a phono stage capable of revealing the depth, nuance, and emotion captured in vinyl recordings.

Product Description
Lehmann Black Cube SE II – Precision Phono Stage for True Audiophiles
The Black Cube SE II builds on the acclaimed SE circuit, upgraded with superior sockets and an adjustable bass filter, allowing you to fine-tune your system to your personal listening preferences. Designed for maximum musical engagement, it delivers the sensation that your favorite recordings were crafted just for you, bringing instruments and vocals closer than ever.
Tailored for Every System
Compatible with nearly all MM and MC cartridges, the Black Cube SE II includes solder-free slots for custom impedance adjustments, plus an extra hardwired plug-in location for immediate flexibility. Optional matching resistors can be provided with your order at no extra cost, making it easy to optimize the phono stage for your system.
Audiophile-Grade Audio Circuitry
At its core, a high-precision passive RIAA filter network sits between two linear gain stages, built with surge-proof, narrow-tolerance polypropylene capacitors. This design preserves transients, dynamics, and timbres with exceptional clarity. Professional-grade input stages reduce noise while enhancing precision and power. Additional modules handle hum, high-frequency interference, and random voltage suppression, and the double-sided audio board ensures a low-interference signal path.
Dependable PWX Power Supply
The external PWX power supply features a custom toroidal transformer with static shielding, providing stable, safe, and powerful operation. Gold-plated Neutrik XLR connectors maintain secure connections, while shielded cables and mechanically damped aluminum housings minimize vibrations and interference.
Elegant Design
With a choice of silver, black, or chrome-plated front panels, the Black Cube SE II combines audiophile-grade performance with a refined aesthetic that looks as good in your HiFi rack as it sounds in your system.
Professional Endorsement
Known for its neutral, natural sound, Lehmann equipment is trusted by professional recording studios and music experts worldwide. The Black Cube SE II offers a high-fidelity listening experience that reveals every nuance in your favorite recordings.
Note: The sonic profile of Lehmann gear is perhaps the most neutral we can find. This brand is quite popular with our professional music/recording studio clients.
Reviews
AUDIO
“Upgraded to the SE version by the PWX, it was definitely poking the fire again like almost no other phono pre in its price range. Merciless heavy rock by Vanilla Fudge or massive bigband attacks by Count Basie were just about to blaze through the listening room. Pimped in such a hot manner, the Lehmann Black Cube SE II is state-of-the-art.”

“This is a true audiophile phono stage and, partnered with equipment of equal quality, the results are remarkable. Indeed, the SE II is difficult to fault even compared to the competition in a much higher price bracket. The exceptionally low background noise allied to a fabulous rhythmic and tonal rendition makes it worthy of consideration for those seeking the most detail from their vinyl without having to make a hyperspace price jump.”
