Fosgate Signature Phono Preamp


Does anyone have any experience with the new Fosgate Phono Preamp? I'm currently using the Moon LP 5.3 with power supply upgrade which has been great, but I'm intrigued by the Fosgate. I've been auditioning one for the last few weeks and really like it. It has a very natural tone and listening to music with it is very enjoyable.

My one concern is that I hear much higher noise vs. the Moon when the needle isn't on the record. Not sure if this should be a real concern, given that I like what I'm hearing, but would like to hear other perspectives.

Reb,
Don't you need to match your tube brands, V1,2; V3,4; and V5,6 to avoid
left and right channel discrepancies in gain as well as tone?
Reb,
That's very interesting and quite an advantageous cicrcuit for the user! Your
comment regarding the Sylvania 6x4 producing great bass slam now makes the
Fosgate a real possibility for me.
