I own one and think its very good. It is my first outboard phono stage, and I believe its as good as any of the other built-ins I've owned ( Marantz, Rogue, CJ ... ) Im using it with a MM and it has never yet left me wanting. Hard to go wrong at that price also.
Sheer Audio MM-77 tube phono preamp - - ?
Hello,
I just pulled the trigger on this preamp and waiting for a Grace cart so I can get this up and running.
There does not seem to be much information on this 2 piece unit. On appearance seems very well made withe Nichicon, Rubycon, Wima caps....quality RCA connectors.
I bought it based on one member's favorable comments. However, another member I mentioned this unit to was not overly impressed and mentioned other tube phono stages that cost 5 times as much. Not a fair comparison from my perspective. I paid $335 so I'm NOT expecting miracles.
I plan on swapping some good NOS tubes.
Any Agon members have any experience with this phono stage?
Can you share your opinions, comments please?
Thanks,
Paul
