Two 12AX7 vacuum tubes handle the gain stage, paired with low-noise J-FET transistors for the rest of the signal path.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 0.9em 0;line-height:1.55;\"\u003eThis is the second generation of EAT's compact Petit phono stage. The update mainly refines the cabinet, adding magnetic side panels you can remove yourself and a black finish alongside the original silver.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 0.9em 0;line-height:1.55;\"\u003eIt's a smaller, single-input model, distinct from EAT's larger flagship E-Glo and E-Glo S phono stages. Those add a second input and other reference-level features. It's also different from the E-Glo Petit B, a pricier, fully balanced model with its own discrete circuit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 0.9em 0;line-height:1.55;\"\u003eThere is no MM\/MC switch to throw. Cartridge matching happens entirely through the gain and impedance settings, which keeps the front panel clear and puts every decision in one place. Set it for the cartridge you own and it stays set.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 style=\"font-size:1.25em;margin:1.4em 0 0.35em 0;font-weight:600;\"\u003eExtensive Gain and Loading for Careful Matching\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 0.9em 0;line-height:1.55;\"\u003eGain switches across six levels: 40, 45, 50, 60, 65 and 70dB. That range runs from moving magnet all the way to low-output moving coil, so no outboard step-up box is needed at either end.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 0.9em 0;line-height:1.55;\"\u003eMoving coil loading offers eight values, from 10 to 1,200 ohms. Moving magnet loading offers eight of its own, from 30 to 75 kOhms. Capacitance switches across six settings between 50 and 620pF, which is more adjustment than most cartridges will ever ask for.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 0.9em 0;line-height:1.55;\"\u003eRIAA accuracy is held within ±0.1dB from 20Hz to 20kHz. Distortion measures 0.15% at 5mV and 1kHz with 45dB of gain. The noise floor is rated at 87dB A-weighted, or 70dB unweighted over the same band.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 0.9em 0;line-height:1.55;\"\u003eThe case measures 226 by 78 by 262mm. That is small enough to sit beside a turntable rather than claim a shelf of its own, which is much of the point of the Petit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"font-size:1.25em;margin:1.4em 0 0.35em 0;font-weight:600;\"\u003eWhat Reviewers Are Saying\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 0.9em 0;line-height:1.55;\"\u003eAlexander Aschenbrunner reviewed the Petit 2 for Fidelity Magazine in July 2024.

It's also different from the E-Glo Petit B, a pricier, fully balanced model with its own discrete circuit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 0.9em 0;line-height:1.55;\"\u003eThere is no MM\/MC switch to throw.

Moving magnet loading offers eight of its own, from 30 to 75 kOhms. Capacitance switches across six settings between 50 and 620pF, which is more adjustment than most cartridges will ever ask for.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 0.9em 0;line-height:1.55;\"\u003eRIAA accuracy is held within ±0.1dB from 20Hz to 20kHz.
