I recently purchased the Yoshino EAR Phono Classic (or Phono Box in Europe) and I will vouch for its quality. A definite step up from my long-time friend, the first iteration of the Acoustic-Signature Tango. Best part for a person who hates to jump through a lot of hoops just to play records - it's got ZERO dip switches. You get different gain from the MM or MC button in the back and it's perfect for most cartridges. You can fine-tune yourself into an insane asylum while I'll be pulling another record out of its sleeve.
Looking for a tube phono pre
Looking for a tube phono pre in the 2500 to 3k price range. Currently running a Sutherland Insight LPS. Using a PrimaLuna EVO 400 integrated and VPI Prime scout with Hana ML. I have a Chinook on order at Upscale but they are dragging their feet and I have read some reliability issue post with the Chinooks, so I can cancel the order. Anyone compare the Rogue to a Chinook? Thanks
