WANTED: PHONO PREAMP
« on: December 05, 2013, 03:50:42 PM »
If anyone has a nice phono preamp they want to sell let me know. Looking for something higher end. I have a Yaqin MS-22b now. Prefer tubes, but open to anything. Hit me up!

Just a suggestions, but you might want to keep your eyes open for a used Jolida JD9 ... found mine with extra tubes for $300 on AudiogoN... mine is stock, but lots of mods out there if you are into projects.
a bunch of nice sounding stuff. Nice that I'm finally able to actually listen to file music for the first time...

Also looking for a phono pre. Shayne - what's the weakness on the one you have now?

I have a hard to find Yamaha CX-1 in super condition. It is not tubes, but a very good preamp with killer MM/MC phono stage. $450

I just nabbed a Sonic Frontiers SFP-1. I went a little out of my budget but I'm confident it will be a killer piece.

I currently have a Yaqin Ms22b. I replaced the tubes in it and haven't really had much to complain about. It's been a trusty piece but I'm trying to remove all Chinese gear from my system.
