In an era where digital audio systems reign supreme, the allure of vinyl records remains as strong as ever. For purists who cherish the warmth and depth of analog sound, the launch of the Grimm Audio PW1 phono preamplifier brings exciting news. Co-founded by renowned audio engineer Peter van Willenswaard, Grimm Audio has a legacy of creating state-of-the-art audio equipment, and the PW1, affectionately dubbed the “Phono Wizard,” is set to elevate the vinyl playback experience to new heights.

From 50 nanovolt to 90 decibels

Van Willenswaard, who has dedicated his life to the design and refinement of phono preamps utilizing both solid-state and tube technologies, acknowledges the unique challenges presented by phono amplification. Moving coil cartridges, which are beloved for their sound quality, require significant amplification—often needing to boost signals as low as 50 nanovolts to a staggering 90 decibels. This daunting task is where the PW1 truly shines.

“The magic of vintage vinyl has influenced our approach,” said van Willenswaard. “Designing a good phono preamp is not merely about minimizing harmonic distortion. It’s about creating an elegant circuit that optimizes the electrical environment of all active components and pairing it with a meticulously tuned power supply.”

The PW1’s solid-state design not only rivals van Willenswaard’s best tube-based creations but does so with a balance of sound that is spacious, detailed, and rhythmically engaging. The preamp’s sonic footprint promises to make every listening session an emotionally involving experience.

Copper-shielded interior

In addition to its impressive audio performance, the PW1 boasts an industrial design that reflects its quality. Crafted by the esteemed Michiel Uylings, known for the acclaimed MU1, the preamplifier features a simple yet powerful cabinet shape. Grimm Audio’s design team has ensured that the copper-shielded interior is not only functional but aesthetically pleasing—a true work of art destined to stand the test of time.

What’s your flavor: MM or MC?

The PW1 is versatile, equipped with inputs for both Moving Magnet (MM) and Moving Coil (MC) cartridges, along with RCA and XLR outputs. Its advanced shielding also means users no longer require an external power supply, further simplifying the setup process while preserving audio purity.

As vinyl continues to captivate music lovers across generations, the Grimm Audio PW1 phono preamplifier represents a refined choice for those seeking to experience the magic of analog sound. With its combination of sophisticated engineering and elegant design, the PW1 is poised to become an essential component of any high-end audio system, ensuring that the beauty of vinyl lives on for many years to come.
