Micheal Fidler's company, Classic Audio Ltd made significant waves across the vinyl community back in December 2021 with the release of his Spartan 10 model phono preamp.

Fast forward two years later and there's a brand new model, the Spartan 15.

Having heard a lot of recommendations from subscribers about Michael Fidler's preamps, I jumped at the opportunity to review this handmade all-through-hole technology phono preamp. Is this the best moving magnet (MM) phono stage in the sub-$ $500 price bracket?
