Fezz Gratia MC/MM Phono Amplifier Review: Custom Elegance & Unrivalled Sound

Welcome to our Fezz Gratia MC/MM Phono Amplifier Review, where we dive deep into Fezz’s latest bespoke phono stage. Custom-built to order with a roughly six-week lead time, the Gratia is more than a preamp—it’s an art piece engineered to extract every nuance from your vinyl collection.
Craftsmanship & Bespoke Design
The Gratia arrives in a sturdy chassis weighing 8 kg, measuring 355 × 380 × 95 mm, and sitting on anti-vibration feet tailored to its mass. What sets it apart is the truly personalised finish: choose from Black Ice, Burning Red, EverGreen, Moonlight, Republika and more—each coat applied by hand to match your décor. A subtle backlit logo completes the presentation.

Technical Mastery & Performance
At the heart of the Gratia’s analogue prowess lies the Supreme Audio Grade toroidal transformer by Toroidy.pl, providing a rock-solid, low-noise power supply. Paired with dual high-end Burson Audio Supreme V5i opamps, this stage handles MM, MC HO and low-output MC cartridges with ease. With switchable MM/MC gain up to 50 dB, input impedances from 47 kΩ (MM) to 50 Ω–1 kΩ (MC), and a subsonic filter, the Gratia excels in extracting detail without adding unwanted distortion.

Sonic Grandeur in the Listening Room
Switching between cartridges is seamless, thanks to the stereo/mono mode switch and multiple input impedance options. The result? A noise floor below −92 dB and THD under 0.005%, allowing cymbals to shimmer with natural decay and bass to remain taut and controlled. The Gratia’s openness, low distortion and wide dynamic range create a three-dimensional soundstage that breathes life into every record.
Who Is the Fezz Gratia For?
If you’re an audiophile with a diverse cartridge collection, seeking a versatile phono stage that marries technical finesse with aesthetic customisation, the Gratia is for you. It’s perfect for those who want a single preamplifier to partner with both MM and multiple MC cartridges without compromise.
