    Default Tisbury Audio phono stage. Anybody tried it?

    I see Tisbury Audio now offer a universal phono stage at what looks like a very reasonable price. It caters for MM carts and Low output MCs. Has anybody tried one? I'm curious to hear opinons if you have.

    It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!

    The wood fascia doesn't do it for me, but that's a minor niggle. Of more importance is the low 47R loading impedance for MC cartridges. Maybe OK for Ortofon SPUs, but too low for most other MCs which like to see 100R or higher.

    The price asked is a bit of a steal for a phonostage - and it's British too!

    Someone please audition one and report their findings.

    Yes I questioned the 47 ohm MC loading as well. Only a little research shows 100 ohm to be the de-facto 'standard'.

    Hi All,

    Seeing this little devise has intrigued me SO I've contacted Wes, at Tisbury audio, to see about the availability of a demo unit that I could have a listen to and review AND ........ one will be on the way in about 1 months time for my evaluation!!

    Off to a good start when a manufacturer/designer offers up a demo unit !!

    Bravo Tisbury.

    I will post my findings as soon as I have had a listen to it.

    Good stuff Geoff. Like mindedness is a good thing


    Hopefully Marco, I'm sure it'll represent the company well. I name dropped AoS whilst asking for a demo unit, that might have helped

    Rising stock?
