The Special Edition of the Gram Amp 2 phono stage preamp features 50 percent more gain to deliver a higher output favored by owners of passive preamps when using medium to high-output (4.5mV or above) moving magnet phono cartridges. It also comes supplied with a universal-voltage energy-efficient mains plug mounted power supply or can be powered by Graham Slee's PSU1 power supply which can be ordered separately.
"...the more you listen to this thing on its own, the more you'll discover that you can play it for hours without fatigue...the presentation had a rare top to bottom cohesiveness, with a tonal balance unusually rich, lush, and, well, beautiful...It's love at first sound..."
– Paul Seydor, The Absolute Sound

"...the music the Gram Amp 2 SE produced was very well tonally balanced. It was easy to listen to but also imparted excitement without edginess. Amazingly, when partnered with quite expensive front-ends and 'speakers, the Gram SE was not left wanting, it just played highly enjoyable music."
