Hi-fi Products
The Rialto is an award-winning audiophile phonostage (Hi-Fi Choice "group winner" and Hi-Fi News "outstanding product") compatible with moving magnet and low output moving coil cartridges.
This phonostage is unusual in using a fully discrete transistor circuit rather than the more common op-amp circuits. It also employs audiophile grade polypropylene capacitors and 1% tolerance resistors and uses no global feedback. The transistors operate in Class A .

Fantastic performance and value for money.
Bought a Rialto to replace a Pro-ject phono box and power supply, costing more than the Rialto, that managed MM ok but struggled with my MC cartridge. The improvement to my listening experience was instantly noticeable even without a step up transformer. So much so I wanted to play all my records again. Amazing piece of kit and great service from Rothwell. Cheers guys, I will be back for more :-)

Really top notch.
When my dad let me have his old Technics 1700SL (that I was in ore of since a small boy) I have to introduce a phono stage into my Audio-GD DAC/Pre. After hearing amazing reviews on line, and a load of 1st hand recommendations about their guitar products, too, I gave this a go. Absolutely lovely. I'm not an audio-nerd but want something that's totally fit for purpose without breaking the bank. This fits the bill totally. Highly recommend.
