Since my  First, “End of Life" Phonostage will be done soon ( my mechanism has been doing the box for 3 month)

I think again what will be the Second Phonostage to care my other arms with no re-plaguing. There is one interesting option but I know nothing about it. I hope some of the European visitors if my site would hear anything about this phonocorrector.

There is a Swiss company Rowen that makes an interesting phonostage:

It has a separate PS, can take 3 arms (2MC and one MM) and let to set loading for each input. I have no knowledge about the topology, active elements, gains, output impedance, noise, sound quality, price or anything else that I would be interested. The size and the functionalities look right. Do not tell me that it cost more then $100-$1500. Did anyone hear this thing or anything that Rowen does? Do they have US rep? Do they have any info in English?
