Combined with the external EPC precision power supply, Audionet’s »phono bombshell« PAM G2 indeed gets a second helping soundwise – and opens up a whole new dimension in terms of operational comfort. With no time delay various input impedance and capacitance values can be compared against each other from your listening spot and the gain factor adjusted. Since we are dealing with very subtle differences, maximum reliability in spotting the aurally compensated setting is hence ensured with the EPC PAM-G2 combination. Normally a reference is bound to topple after a certain period of time, but the Audionet PAM G2 is going to keep this title for a long time. Teamed by the EPC, this award is incredibly well protected for the time being.    Olaf Sturm
