Improve your existing vinyl set-up with the iFi audio ZEN Phono. This phono stage features some of the tech used in the ultra-fidelity AMR PH-77 and iFi iPhono siblings. It packs some seriously awesome audio components and circuitry that's going to keep you wanting to listen to just 'one' more song.
Unlike other entry-level phono stages, the ZEN Phono uses MM/MC, high/low and very low, to handle just about any cartridge. Expect a gain that goes from 36dB till 72dB while retaining a super-silent noise floor of -151dBV. No matter how big your set-up grows, the ZEN Phono will always be there for you.
Here's good news for those who don't want to compromise on the bass. Normal sub-sonic filters tend to get rid of the bass while removing the rumble. The ZEN Phono uses an AI sub-sonic filter that addresses these rumble and wrap issues without having any effect on the bass or causing phase issues.
The iFi ZEN Phono has an incredible RIAA EQ tolerance level (+/- 0.15dB) that's on par with hand-selected capacitors. This is thanks to the parallel TDK C0G (Class 1 ceramic) capacitors in the EQ circuit. These capacitors offer high stability and low distortion and are better than polystyrene capacitors. The end result: Performance that's better than phono stages worth over a thousand dollars.
Flagship phono amplifiers create their own power supply off the mains, like a mains regenerator. Doing away with this would result in extra hissing and noise along with the signal. The ZEN Phono uses its own high-tech 1.2MHz clean power supply (20,000x mains frequency of 60Hz). This means a 10uF filtering capacitor = 200,000uF at lower, audible frequencies. This is equivalent to the level of noise filtration done by the highly effective LC filtering circuits found in classic Tube Amps. Furthermore, the PCB is isolated to prevent noise pollution in the analogue stage. This is quieter than some Stereophile Class A+ phonos which are -131dBV.
The iFi ZEN Phono uses high-end circuit components. The balanced circuit (almost unheard of at this price point) is effective in reducing noise and crosstalk and is much more superior in comparison to the traditional single-ended circuit approach. A custom OV Series operational-amplifier contributes to the extremely low noise, low distortion (0.0001%) and wide bandwidth. The Panasonic ECPU capacitors are made from 3,500 layers of ultra-thin dielectrics that's less than 0.5μm thick. It offers class-leading Equivalent Series Resistance (ESR), low impedance and vanishingly low distortion.

The sound is clean and clear. Main USP is balanced connection to be used with your balanced headgear, as most of stereo stuff is unbalanced. Sounds transparent to me without coloration. YMMV.
I was using a Project MM/MC phono box, it sounds cleaner than it. Has more dynamics and slightly clear sound (veil lifted kind of clear). Can be driven with DC 5v 500mA supply also. Overall a satisfying purchase.
Thanks a ton for sharing your review with us.
Another revelation...thanks to HZ and if!
I got my AT-LP5 with a Pro-Ject Phono Mini from day one, in 2017.
That was a happy combination till I changed my amp to an Audiolab A6000 in 2019. The new amp "supposedly" has a better Phono stage.
It is definitely louder, muscular and forward compared to the Pro-Ject, which isn't a bad thing with typocally low output turnatble characteristics.
Few months back I added an Aunt Hi Res media player and an ifi noise cleaner. Things changed!
The wonderful Audiolab sounded better in every respect, except the Phono part!
As noise floor had come down drastically after the last update, the Phono module's noisiness started bothering my ears a great deal!
As I was certain that the Phono stage was the culprit, I took a gamble and picked up the new ifi Zen Phono.
And, Voila! No noise!
But that's not the only benefit I reaped.
Though way less muscular or powerful than the lab's built in section, this ifi has taken up my Vinyl experience quite a few notches!
One, improved resolution with a noiseless background now allows even the smallest details to come out of my Dali speakers, much like the Aune did. More instruments seem to be joining the tracks on every listen!
Though the timing seemed a bit out during the first few runs, it seemed to have corrected after a month's burn in.
The soundstage is significantly wider now.
Depth, per se does not seem to have improved, but with less muscle / forwardness I'm having to pump in more power out of the lab and that does add depth.
What impressed me, every time though, is the dark background and the sheer delicacy of the ifi presentation!
Lately, I've been only playing my Vinyls...
Thanks HZ and ifi
Ifi bring again a good budget friendly product for us. 1st impression straight out the box is very much satisfying. Nice open sound stage and details. Little bit of timing lack, dynamics but i tnk its not burn in yet. The vocal parts also very engaging and live like. A decent instrument separation. And the last thing its subsonic filter helps to reduce rumble / woofer pumping which was not fixes to my other’s 2 phono preamp, this does. Now I’m happy to enjoy my vinyl again.
And lastly what a delivery speed by hpz and bluedart, just one day and the products in to my doorstep, I’m just pleased.
Hi Sandip, Thank you so much for sharing your honest review with us. We really appreciate it. We hope you will enjoy using the product. Happy listening! :)
