About the Fon Lo Thingee
The Blue Circle Audio Fon Lo Thingee is a phono stage that merges the input stage of the BC703 with the output and RIAA circuit of the BC707, housed in a compact brass enclosure. It is designed to provide remarkable performance that competes with phono stages two to three times its price. The unit features user-adjustable gain settings between 38dB and 60dB and uses loading plugs for cartridge impedance matching. It is hand-built to order and tested by the same staff responsible for Blue Circle's high-end reference products. The Fon Lo Thingee offers flexible power supply options, including a base standard power supply, an upgrade with an SP Capacitor Pack and Biggie Pipe power supply for enhanced sound quality, and a battery-powered Batche Thingee version to eliminate AC noise. Reviews highlight its rich midrange, detailed soundstage, and excellent timing and flow, making it a major contender in its price range. The product is no longer manufactured but remains highly regarded for its price-to-performance ratio.
