Loricraft
The Loricraft Missing Link comes in three models to suit everybody's needs. The Standard Model, The Switchable Model, and the Professional Model. Each one comes with a separate regulated power supply.
Roy Gregory, writing in Hifi+ magazine, said "Internally everything is hard wired and the sound it delivers is exactly the rich, robust and musical one we have come to expect from Loricraft....initial listening suggests that it offers excellent value."
The Standard Model comes in three versions, each with its own dedicated single setting.
- Moving Coil MC1 - 100 ohms
- Moving Coil MC2 - 470 ohms
- Moving Magnet MM - 47k ohms and 220 pF

A friend suggested the name Missing Link, not a reference to man's ancestors, but something he felt was missing from most hi-fi systems, a decent phono input for turntables.
