Emotiva finally released their much anticipated Phono Pre. Looks pretty nice and seems to have lots of settings on it at a relatively nice price as well.

Wow, that is cheap for all the features it has!
The construction/topology does not look too bad either, imho.
Personally, I despise Wall Warts, but for the price you could not expect anything else.
I wonder how good it 'really' does sound, & I wonder how much better it might sound with a proper PS?
It might actually be worth adding a PS that cost more than the pre itself & still have a set-up that can be seen as a value relative to its comparative performance.

There are some pretty nice DIY oriented PSU's you could build for this that wouldn't be much more than 50 bucks or so. TwistedPearAudio has one you could probably setup for this and work pretty well.
Also if you'd like to try it they do offer 30 day trial period where you can send it back for any reason you want .- Bottom

As Doug points out another nice thing about wall warts, is that it's easy to upgrade the power supply. Just hook up the right voltage and current rating to the jack there. A battery power supply might be a nice upgrade for it, and could be really simpleJohn unk:
