That's a phono stage.

what does that mean? i take its not used for voice or instrument then?

No, a phono stage is what you need to use with a turntable to properly equalize the output from the cartridge and amplify it to line level. Pro-ject is a company that makes turntables and stuff.

It may be just the ticket for a really thin sounding singer....

Phono stage...I think we used to call the ones we had way back in the stone age, head amps. They brought the crystal level up to line level.
