"SOUND TO REVEL....Full bass, silky highs, very detailed, spacious imaging: Uphorik's superiority compared to most of its competitors - including Linto - is distinct and beyond individual preferences.’
‘One of the most noise-free preamps available and hard to beat. Vanishingly low distortion, perfectly balanced frequency response.’
Spain
Luis Llana, Cine en Casa - No.78 May

‘it will bring light on the hidden qualities of many turntable/cartridge combinations.’
Netherlands
Kilian Bakker, hifi.nl - April
‘The Uphorik is a phonostage of pure delicacy… It was refreshing to encounter this kind of reproduction’
‘The Uphorik has proven its use outside of analogue Linn territory; not only can it fulfill widely differing loading demands, it does not rely upon the sonic character of the source. In short: what the turntable wants goes and that's how it should be with a truly universal phonostage.’
