Don't buy Allnic H1201 phono stage new.


New model H1202 is coming, it has tube power supply and should be significantly better. And only a little more expensive.
Used H1201 should now be much less expensive than usually asked.

In Allnic phono amps the quality of the tubes will effect sound more than
anything else. Allnics come with Mullard E188s, good tubes but there are much better tubes available in the NOS/NIB market. I suspect that Phillips tubes would be a better upgrade than a new power supply and agree that SS can be just as good as a rectifier tube power supply.
Even with the rectifier power supply you would need to upgrade the tube
to something like an 1950s RCA.
