Not too expensive, no nonsense, does what it is needed. I'm no hi-fi sound expert so hard to judge quality, but I can hear my records now so more than happy.

Bought this as a cheap option as a pre-amp for digitising vinyl. The sound quality isn't great though so I guess you get what you pay for. If you want decent sound go for a decent mid price phono stage

No volume control

Excellent quality and sound and value for money

Absolutely delighted with this piece of kit. Got results from my hi-fi that I only dreamed of. Spectacular sound reproduction

So, it works very well out the box but alot better once the j2 valves it comes with are upgraded to the jan5654w type, much warmer sound. Well worth the money as is the upgrade. Id of preferred orange led's as opposed to the blue ones but that's a tiny nitpick.

Used

Having bought the Project evo turntable which requires a Pre amp & had a look at a few others decided on this one mainly because of the fact that it was a valve, anyone old enough to remember the 70s & 80s will remember valve amps. Three different dB settings from the well made box all require assembly, valves went straight in, with caution, easily set up & a great compliment to the turntable & speakers. Reviews I've read said the valves will get better with time, the sound is pretty fantastic straight out the box , looking forward to listening when this happens, we'll see. Overall a cracking product we'll made & value for money.

The positive reviews of this pre amp are absolutely right. The increased quality in sound, depth and presence is nothing short of breathtaking. I’m completely blown away by the performance of this and at the amazing price it’s a no-brainer if you’re looking for a decent sounding pre amp that’s value for money.

Great sound quality and easy to set up! I needed a separate preamp for my AT LP120USBC Turntable to speak to my Active speakers, so I switched to phono and it sounds great.
