About the OBH-8

The Creek Audio OBH-8 is a minimalist, high-value MM phono preamplifier known for its neutral sound, excellent microdynamics, and superb soundstaging. It features a simple single-ended class-A design with zero feedback using low-noise bipolar transistors per channel. The OBH-8 is optimized for cartridges with outputs from 1.5mV to 5.0mV and fixed loading. A separate 24V DC wall-wart power supply is used, which can be upgraded (e.g., OBH-2) for better performance. The MK2 version introduces improvements like a new IC-based gain stage, Class A output, and updated low-profile metal case. It has been praised as an affordable entry into high-end vinyl playback but is now discontinued.
