About the Phono LOCO

The Sutherland Phono LOCO is a high-end, transimpedance (current-input) phono preamplifier designed specifically for low-output moving-coil cartridges, using the cartridge's current rather than voltage as the signal source for the gain stage. Its minimalist, dual-mono layout and carefully optimized circuitry aim to deliver highly dynamic, low-noise, and natural sound with exceptional detail and spatial resolution. The Phono LOCO is part of Sutherland's LOCO series of current-input phono stages, alongside models such as the Little LOCO and Dos LOCOS, but is a distinct model from the larger Dos LOCOS and Little LOCO units.
