The Fezz Gratia Prestige MK2 represents a significant evolution of our renowned phonostage, introducing a fully redesigned circuit and expanded functionality. This model features a sophisticated two-step signal amplification section built around high-quality operational amplifiers and a pair of low-noise 12AU7 vacuum tubes. The power section is anchored by a specially designed Supreme Audio transformer from Toroidy.pl, ensuring absolute stability and performance. A major upgrade in the MK2 version is the enhanced flexibility for cartridge matching, as users can now manually adjust input capacitance for MM cartridges and load impedance for MC cartridges. For further personalization, the tubes are easily accessible under a sliding glass panel on the top, allowing for effortless fine-tuning of the tonal character. With improved dynamics, deeper bass response, and superior detail resolution, the Gratia Prestige MK2 delivers a more immersive and refined analog experience, adding the unmistakable character of vacuum tubes to any high-fidelity system.

The Polish brand Fezz Audio was founded in 2016 in the picturesque Podlasie region in north-eastern Poland. It was founded by Maciej Lachowski, who runs it alongside his brother Tomasz, and its roots run deeper than one might think. Since 1991, the Lachowski family has owned Toroidy.pl, a renowned manufacturer of toroidal transformers, and it is precisely this experience that forms the basis of Fezz’s sound. The name itself is also an interesting story – it originated from the way Maciej’s young daughter pronounced the Polish word ‘pies’, meaning ‘dog’.
Fezz Audio specialises in valve amplifiers, which are among the few in the world to use toroidal output transformers manufactured in-house by the family. The company manufactures most of its components in-house, which enables it to maintain high quality at a surprisingly affordable price. The product range includes integrated and power amplifiers, preamplifiers, phono preamplifiers, headphone amplifiers and D/A converters. The devices are characterised by their compact design, precise workmanship and a wide range of colour options that will liven up any interior. Meanwhile, the team of engineers in Podlasie is constantly refining the products so that each new generation brings even more musical enjoyment.
