Fluance PA10

Fluence has released their first phono preamp, the $80 PA10. The wood grain is unique and the rumble filter is rare in this price range, but I'm not o...

0.5 is a nice number and we're pretty happy with it.

I've used Technics SL-1200 mkII for in-home use, and I recently purchased a very lightly used Pioneer PLX-1000 w/Ortofon Concorde mkII MIX cartridge and a Fluance PA10 phono pre-amp (I don't use this phono pre-amp). Got the whole setup, in original factory packaging, for $350. It is Da Bomb!.

Pass on the Project with the logo on top. Pass on Fluance PA10 since the Art DJ Pre II is supposedly just as good for lower cost or you can get a better iFi Zen Air Phono or U-Turn Pluto 2 or Emotiva XPS-1 for the same cost as the Fluance.

Pass on the Fluance PA10 that may not be any better than the lower cost ART DJ Pre II. If you want to spend $99 then get the new [iFi Zen AIR that may be almost or just as good as the Mani.

Or if you plan on a speaker and amp upgrade, [Hagerman $199, internet direct value. Pass on the Fluance PA10 that may not be any better than the $65 Art DJ Pre II.
