Celio

The Celio is built for true audiophiles who demand excellence. Its direct coupling stages completely eliminate capacitors in the signal path, preserving the integrity of your music and delivering a sound that is natural, dynamic, and full of life. Every note, every nuance, every whisper of the performance reaches your ears exactly as the artist intended.

Versatility is at the heart of the Celio. It is compatible with both moving magnet (MM) and moving coil (MC) cartridges, and its adjustable load impedances ensure that you can perfectly match it to your cartridge for the ultimate listening experience. Whether your system is classic or modern, the Celio adapts, providing the flexibility that serious vinyl enthusiasts demand.

We understand that a pre-phono is more than just an electronic device—it’s the gateway to your music. That’s why the Celio is designed with a dual-mono architecture, giving each channel complete independence. The result is exceptional stereo imaging, minimal crosstalk, and a powerful sense of space that makes you feel like you’re in the recording studio or the concert hall itself.

Upgradeability is another core feature. The Celio can easily be expanded from an RCA stereo to a full XLR stereo system by adding a second unit, allowing your investment to grow with your audio setup without compromising sound quality. And, as with all Grandinote products, it is proudly handcrafted in Italy, combining precision engineering, premium components, and timeless design.

In short, the Celio Pre-Phono is more than a preamplifier—it is a statement of our dedication to audio perfection. It transforms every vinyl playback into an immersive journey, capturing the emotion, energy, and beauty of the original recording. For those who cherish music, the Celio is the ultimate companion.
