Review: Me dejo muy sorprendido porque hizo que mi Sumiko Rainier suene muy bien con Jazz. Es el pairing perfecto con cartuchos calidos. Abre mucho el soundstage y agrega coloracion a las frequencias altas
Review: This thing provides a serious boost in sound quality. Was not sure I needed one since my new turntable has a built-in preamp but took a chance based on other reviews saying an external unit would improve sq and this is absolutely the case. I am hearing much more soundstage, individual instrument details, and channel separation than I was with the built-in amp. I disconnected this and went back to line out for a sound test - was shocked at the difference because I originally thought the turntable sounded great stock out of the box. Reconnected Pluto 2 immediately.... Cannot imagine ever going back to regular line out. US made is a very cool bonus and the overall build quality feels great. There's no power button but I have it on a power strip with a switch. Super value price wise and all around amazing performance. Highly recommended!

I want to say first and foremost please make sure your cartridge input capacitance is within its range when getting a pre-amp to get the best sound of of it. I have and Audio Technic VA530en which is known for being very bright so I had to make sure the input capacitance was in between 100pF and 200pF this unit is at 100pF so I needed a cable no more than 100pF I contacted U-Turn they advised me to get the KableDirekt 3 foot cables that game in at 65fF, that are here on Amazon and it worked perfectly!! I got a very nice punchy un colored sound from this unit. In saying that, when I was doing my research on Youtube so many gave the Pluto 2 an inaccurate sound profile and acted like it was the pre amp but it wasn't. I am not saying what pre amp sounds better but what they were given was not the true sound capabilities of the U-Turn Pluto 2. There is no way they could be using one cartridge and comparing the Pluto 2 to other pre-amps when the input capacitance requirements are different between the cartridges and preamps and there is no input capacitance adjustment so you were not getting an accurate sound profile. I am glad I didn't believe that crap did my home work and I LOVE my Pluto 2.
