Continuing the audio purge is the Vista Audio Phono 1. This is the original model. It is perfect for those with newer gear that does not include a phono stage that want to explore vinyl on a limited budget. Its small footprint makes it a perfect choice as a simple add-on for an integrated amp or receiver with a multi-purpose entertainment system. Vista Audio's Boris Sasic is a guru with affordable gear, the mkII and phono 2 models have won numerous accolades. I can provide my review from Affordable$$Audio of this model for those interested.
New, this unit sold for $299, I'm offering it for $115 shipped USPS Priority Mail CONUS. $125 to Alaska/Hawaii and Canada. Payment via PayPal.
The case does have a couple of very small paint chips as well as yellow residue from its original plastic display container (which I discarding as it has seen much better days unless you want it, but I don't recommend). Measurements are: 4w X 2.25d X 1.25h.
Direct Coupling (no capacitors in the signal path)

0.12dB RIAA tracking
<0.005% THD
Class A opera?on
Bandwidth: 10Hz-150kHz
Input impedance (MM): 47kohm, 150pF
Input impedance (MC): 47 or ohm

Gain and loading tailored to a specific cartridge at no charge
Passive RIAA
0.5% resistors
2% capacitors
Ac?ve offset Cancella?on
Gold plated PCB
Steel case for EMI shielding
