Just get a little Monoprice small hybrid integrated. It's a nice little amp, very clean. Tube front end. Sounds nice for an office.
Russian Tube Preamp, No Return, Here I go again
I decided to risk it, Russian, no return. (he accepted my $400. offer, so $500. delivered).

Gives me tubes in my office system.
I just read something:
People don’t want advice, just confirmation
I’m not looking for either (this time), just thought some of you would find it funny and wish me luck.
I’m 72, it may arrive before my 75th birthday

just for fun while waiting I'm still peeking at tube phono preamps, this Muzixshare integrated amp looks a lot like my Cayin: construction/quality/features/25w triode/45w ultralinear power rating ... AND it has built-in phono and headphone amp, meters, external bias control https://www.ebay.com/itm/X7-KT88-Push-pull-tube-Integrated-amplifier-Phono-Preamp-Remote-45w-2/11375... $1,600. delivered to USA If I didn't have/love my mx110z's phono, and IF it had 16 ohm taps and IF it sounds like my Cayin, I would try it, perhaps then sell the Cayin. a quickie search/find: https://toptubeamplifier.com/muzishare-x7-tube-amp-review/ |
lewm I think you missed my point, I don't like ANY of those currently available preamps, none too special, most ugly IMO (don't forget, I'm an Interior Designer), thus I could not have gotten the 'same' domestic product. Once again, like the Russian tonearm, this one turned out to be the only currently available one that appealed to me, the one I couldn't forget about while searching for others. Not awesome looking, it just appeals to me. Both my Fisher 500C's sound great, but, aside from extra height they are very deep, even deeper with input cables, they won't fit here. This preamp will fit on the 14" deep bookcase top even with cables connected. If I make a cutout in the back of the bookcase for ventilation and cables, I can fit it on a 11-1/2" deep shelf. It's always a mixture of considerations that lead to a decision. |
