And it’s sound per pound where the little P75 excels: this thing is a standout. It’s clear, but not clinical. Detailed, but nowhere near excruciatingly so. So quick, agile and able to move the music along with superb alacrity that it’s nearly addictive. Any slight glare or vague artificiality that occasionally pegged the old P75 as a reasonably affordable design is gone, baby, gone. Everything here is high resolution and cohesive, musical, taut, tonally colorful, texturally rich and largely neutral. This is darn good hifi. 

After spending over a decade running through progressively larger, more complex and expensive phono preamps in search of superb musicality coupled with utter silence, one of the littlest and most modestly priced finally delivers, for me, a near-ideal mix. Small in stature, but big where it counts, Dynavector’s DV75 Mk4.1 really comes through – at an equally unassuming price. Under $1,000 for all this? Yep, and at least according to my ears, well worth auditioning even if you’re considering spending twice as much. Highly recommended, and my new mid-priced reference. The only question left is, who among my friends should I pass my old P75 on to?
