Primare R32 phono stage has all the elegance and efficiency typical of Scandinavian design

Primare emerged as a manufacturer of high-end audio electronics just over 30 years ago in southern Sweden. More than just your average audio company, Primare stands out for their adherence to an inspired set of philosophies. Primare embody the ideals of Scandinavian design, striving for efficiency, practicality, and elegant, unpretentious design. As a result of abiding by these ideals, Primare have a tendency of sleek, beautiful products that are efficient in every element of their design and performance.

Each Primare product is designed with the help of founder Bent Nielsen, and to this day, each of their reference-series A60 power amplifiers is handmade by Nielsen. That there is no disconnect between design and production is a key point of Primare’s success, resulting in products that are well thought-out in the truest sense of the term.

Primare manufacture hi-fi electronics of all sorts, but we have been particularly impressed with one of their entry-level products – the R32 phono stage or phono pre-amplifier. Designed to take the low-level output from your turntable and amplify it to line-level, a phono stage is a must-have for any turntable aficionado. The R32 differentiates itself amongst phono stages for its supreme versatility – it can be adjusted to get the best out of just about any turntable cartridge in existence.

The Primare R32 does all this while abiding by the principles of simplicity and efficiency held by all Primare equipment. Housed in a gorgeous aluminium chassis with a brushed aluminium faceplace, the R32 is elegant enough to meld into any home aesthetic. And you can rest easy knowing that this hand-constructed phono stage has been made with impressive care and attention to detail.
