Uesugi UTY-7 phono stage


Hi, Does anybody have any experience or information about the Uesugi UTY-7. I recently saw one for sale and I'm thinking of getting hold of it as an upgrade to my current phono stage which is by trigon. I'm also using an Uesugi Bros 5L step up trans so thinking it might be a good match.
Tried to search this model on the forums but nothing so far. Any help would be gratefully appreciated.
Thanks

hehe,..I know your feeling. I prefer recofan and luckily there are a few scattered around near me too. The largest one I came across was the one near tokyo hands in shibuya though. It can be rather addictive, however I'm also not into shelling out 10k for a record.
Thanks for the tip, guys. I will be sure to visit Recofan in Shibuya, next time I visit my son in Tokyo. I've bought a whole lot of jazz records from Audio Union near the Ochanomizu station. Don't be too concerned; there are only so many LPs that will fit in my suitcase for the return trip.
Lewm, the one in Shibuya is less than a 5-min walk from home - pure torture sometimes. If you are willing to sift through the cheap bins, there is the occasional gem. Otherwise, there is lots of good stuff there at "regular" prices. If you are looking for the 6-eye KOB, or original BN pressing of 60s jazz, it will cost you a pretty penny (anywhere you go), but if you are looking for good stuff to listen to, it's probably the best and cheapest place to go in Tokyo.
Disk Union in Ochanomizu has a decent jazz selection. There are a few local LP stores where I live (Shimokitazawa), but Time in Takadanobaba, and Parade in Mitaka are better.

The major problem in Tokyo is having the space to put LP purchases. If I had the money to live in a larger place, I'd certainly own more LPs! (grin).

just had a listen to the uesugi at audiounion kichijoji. from what i heard it sounds great. a very pure and uncoloured sound which is what i've been after. they'll part exchange with my trigon too and a couple of other items that i rarely use.so i should be up and running at the end of the week.
the shop assistent also mentioned as did t_bone that this model rarely comes up for sale so the timing was good as i have been unsure of my trigon for a while.
going to celebrate and head off to recofan.
