On this page you’ll find a ranking of the best Phono preamps from Pro-Ject. To give you a quick overview, we’ve added the most important product details. This page always stays fresh and updates automatically.

1. Pro-Ject Optical Box E Phono

For those who want to use their turntable alongside home theater receivers, soundbars, or all-in-one systems, finding only digital inputs can be frustrating, which is why they will love this little box. The Optical Box E Phono meets this need by providing both a digital optical output and an analog output, with both being usable simultaneously. Therefore, it can also function as a signal splitter 1>2 and as a simple input signal extender 2>1 where no free input is available. Last but not least, the Optical Box E Phono is capable of digitizing not only phono signals but also high-level signals from cassette decks or radios. To ensure these signals remain as unaltered as possible, the A/D conversion is performed with the highest precision at 24bit / 96kHz resolution. It can also be integrated as a standard MM phono preamp with a line output (3.5mm jack) into any HiFi system. The interior of the housing is lined with metal, which eliminates RF interference and prevents vibrations, ensuring an undisturbed listening experience. The Optical Box E Phono is the perfect partner for all modern audiophiles who want to enjoy their analog signal sources with digital or analog playback devices. 

2. Pro-Ject Pre Box S2 Digital Edition 2023

The Pre Box S2 Digital Edition 23 takes Pro-Ject's preamplifiers into a new era thanks to the dual-mono design with the highest quality ESS Sabre D/A converters. This allows you to enjoy first-class quality that can resolve up to 32-bit/768 kHz in PCM encoding. The Pre Box S2 Digital Edition 23 has an improved power management design compared to the previous model. With up to seven digital filters, you can customise the sound to your liking and ensure you get the soundscape that suits you every time. The device also works with a remote control and can be used to control the playback programmes on your computer. You can change tracks or pause them directly from the Pre Box. 

3. Pro-Ject Phono Box E

The Phono Box E allows for the connection of MM cartridges and offers audiophile music enjoyment. A modern circuit design based on SMD technology minimizes noise and distortion. The integrated shielding and external power supply significantly reduce the chance of external interference. Due to its compact size, the Phono Box E can be placed close to the turntable. Both the input and output jacks are gold-plated to prevent corrosion. The Phono Box E is connected to a line input of the amplifier. 

4. Pro-Ject Phono Box

Many currently available HiFi devices and music systems do not have a connection for turntables. The Phono Box is the ideal solution here, as this phono preamp is suitable for both MM and MC cartridges. The analog output of the Phono Box is simply connected to a line input (AUX, ...) of your amplifier. 

5. Pro-Ject Preamplifier Phono Box E BT 5

Turntable with wireless 5.2 Bluetooth and aptX. Connect your turntable wirelessly thanks to Bluetooth 5.2 streaming with aptX Adaptive and HD support. Extremely noise-free circuitry - internal metal shielding. Suitable for MM systems. Precise RIAA equalization. Gold-plated RCA connectors. 2 inputs: 1 Phono, 1 Line. The Phono Box E BT5 offers two separate inputs, a Phono and a Line input, as well as two separate outputs. It can be used as a regular MM phono stage connected to any HiFi amplifier via its line-level output, or it can be used as a Bluetooth streamer. It captures the provided analog input signal, converts it, and sends digital audio to any Bluetooth receiver within a range of 10 meters. These devices can include Bluetooth headphones, speakers, or any other Bluetooth receiver. The Phono Box E BT5 is the perfect companion for all modern audiophiles who want to enjoy their vinyl hobby with the convenience of wireless streaming and in high definition. Bluetooth 5.2 combined with aptX Adaptive and aptX HD allows for high-resolution formats in audiophile quality. 

6. Pro-Ject T2 SUPER PHONO (Rainier)

The Pro-Ject T2 Super Phono builds on the circuit of the popular T1 model and offers improvements in sound quality and construction that challenge turntables in the audiophile range.

The foundation of the T2 Super Phono is a larger, CNC-machined chassis than that of its smaller counterpart, made from high-quality materials without any plastic parts. The technically precise design ensures a stable structure that effectively eliminates unwanted vibrations and resonances. The glass platter is thicker and heavier for more stable speeds and higher playback quality. The 9-inch aluminum tonearm features improved, low-friction precision bearings designed with the increased length and diameter in mind. Completing the package is the factory-installed and adjusted Sumiko Rainier MM cartridge with an elliptical stylus: this high-quality system, combined with an excellent turntable preamplifier, provides a pleasant listening experience from vinyl records. The Super Phono model also includes an exceptionally high-quality passive MM phono preamplifier with two gain stages, which can also be disabled.

As usual, it features an electronically controlled, high-precision AC motor, gold-plated RCA connectors, and a Pro-Ject Connect It E turntable cable specifically designed for turntables, which is effectively shielded against interference.

8. Pro-Ject T1 EVO Phono

The Pro-Ject T-Series is a range of turntables that are handcrafted in Europe and are known for their excellent sound quality, minimalist design, and outstanding value for money. The design goal of the T models was to offer a high-quality and well-sounding turntable at a reasonable price, and they have succeeded in doing so. The updated models meet expectations even better.

The 2024 Pro-Ject T1 EVO Phono features electronic speed switching and an integrated RIAA preamplifier, which can now also be bypassed. The selected cartridge is an upgrade, the Ortofon OM-10E, which is equipped with an elliptical stylus. The belt drive has been redesigned, and the bearing of the precision-crafted platter is ultra-precise. The chosen drive system provides a smoothly rotating and resonance-free base for the one-piece aluminum tonearm and cartridge.
 

9. Pro-Ject Record Box E

The Record Box E is a high-quality phono preamplifier that offers the ability to convert vinyl into digital music files. It allows for the connection of MM and MC cartridges and provides audiophile sound enjoyment at an entry-level price.

The integrated A/D converter is compatible with Windows and Mac operating systems and can be connected to the computer via USB. This allows your valuable vinyl collection to be used in digital form with portable music players as well.

A modern circuit design based on SMD technology minimizes noise and distortion. The integrated shielding and external power supply significantly reduce the chance of external interference. Due to its compact size, the Record Box E can be placed close to the turntable. Both the RCA input and output jacks are gold-plated to prevent corrosion.
