JDS Labs Atom Phono Review

Noise: nothing to say here, it’s dead silent, even with the 40 dB gain setting activated. Even with the tone control ON, noise floor remained absent and the EMI shielding did a great job during all my listening. Of course, I could hear some pops when I played my vinyl, but that was only due to the dirty grooves and as a pre-amp, I never encountered any parasites or any real buzz during my listening.
Power: The Atom Phono really packs some punch, even with the basic 30dB gain option. It’s suitable for 5-20mV phono signals and sensitive cartridge like the new Ortofon Concorde Music series should give great results, but on my “old” 2M, I already had more than enough to play with.
