About the The Grail

The van den Hul The Grail is a reference-class solid-state phono preamplifier engineered for both moving magnet (MM) and moving coil (MC) cartridges. Renowned for its transparency, pitch-black background, and ability to extract the finest details from vinyl, The Grail employs a unique RIAA equalization circuit using only coils—eschewing capacitors in the signal path for maximum sonic purity. It features automatic impedance matching for MC cartridges, gold-plated PCB traces, and a vibration-resistant chassis with wooden feet. The external power supply minimizes noise and interference, while the amplifier's dual-section design ensures a natural, expansive soundstage. The Grail is celebrated for its ability to reveal the full potential of any high-quality analog setup, making it a top choice for discerning vinyl enthusiasts.
