Phono stages are devices designed to provide a very high level of amplification.
This is necessary because the electrical signal generated by a phono cartridge is extremely low
(usually less than one-thousandth of a volt). The job of the phono stage is therefore to accurately
equalise the phono signal and boost it to line level (measured in volts).
However, phono stages are by nature extremely sensitive, which leads to the potential problem that
high-frequency interference may also be amplified to a point at which it becomes noticeable.
Unfortunately it is not possible to completely protect the sensitive phono stage circuitry from this
interference without degrading its high fidelity performance. Therefore care must be taken to
position the phono stage away from sources of high frequency interference such as mobile phones,
modems and power line communication systems (PLC) in which data is sent over the mains power
network.
