E-Glo 2 Tube Phono Stage Brings a New Era for Analog Audio Fans

Elevate your vinyl experience with the E-Glo 2 tube phono stage, designed for superb analog sound and enhanced performance.

Introducing the E-Glo 2 Tube Phono Stage

Nesconset, NY, August 6, 2025 — Vana Ltd, a leading distributor specializing in premium international audio components for the North American market, has officially launched the much-anticipated E-Glo 2 tube phono stage from European Audio Team (EAT). This model features a step-up transformer and is now available to vinyl enthusiasts across the United States.

Roy Feldstein, CTO of Vana Ltd and exclusive North American importer of EAT products, shares, “The E-Glo 2 is easily one of the most anticipated sequels in analog audio. After 12 years, we’re proud to finally bring an updated version that retains the overall design and sonic signature of the original, but with newly added features that come as a result of customer feedback.”

Classic Design Meets Modern Innovations

Priced at $11,000, the E-Glo 2 stays true to its roots by completely eliminating semiconductors from the signal path. This ensures a pure and authentic analog sound. It utilizes a classic tube complement, housing four ECC83 tubes along with two ECC88 tubes. This setup allows users to engage in “tube rolling,” experimenting with different tubes to customize and perfect the sonic output to their liking.

EAT’s commitment to high fidelity is evident in its discrete MM (moving magnet) and MC (moving coil) phono stages, which feature split-passive RIAA equalization instead of traditional feedback-based EQ. This approach results in a more transparent and natural sound that remains consistent over the lifespan of the tubes.

Enhanced Features for Superior Sound Quality

One of the standout features of the E-Glo 2 is the introduction of a balanced XLR input specifically for MC cartridges. By employing balanced topology at the input stage, the device achieves a significantly lower noise floor and superior resistance to electromagnetic interference. This means listeners can unlock the full dynamic range and detail of their MC cartridges without distractions.

Additional upgrades include the use of premium Mundorf capacitors with teflon dielectric on the output stage, renowned for their clarity and reliability. The previous MKP capacitors have been replaced with polypropylene film capacitors in the signal path and passive equalization circuit, offering ultra-low loss and minimal temperature-induced variations.

Just like its predecessor, the power supply is housed separately in a redesigned aluminum case that visually complements the main unit. The power supply uses a capacitor-multiplier filtered, FET-regulated design to deliver rock-solid voltage, crucial for the sensitive tube circuitry to perform optimally.

“The E-Glo 2 is just the beginning of what will be an up-to-date series of E-Glo models,” Feldstein emphasizes. “It’s going to be an active second half for EAT, and a boon to music lovers who are ready to invest in a new level of analog performance.”
