    Default Bigbottle BB3 phono stage for sale

    My own build of the BB3 valve phono stage is up for sale. A unique two box version.



    This is a full MC/MM build with exposed valves on top, as good as it gets.



    The individual high and low voltage transformers are housed in a separate box with on/off switch on top.



    This version includes a power up mute circuit that silences the output while the valves stabilise.



    Comes fitted with two INTER PCC88, Seimens valves branded for Inter, plus a Telefunken ECC83, an excellent compliment of valves.

    MC input impedance is 180 ohm with 68dB gain
    MM input impedance is 47K with 41dB gain
    Output impedance is 270 ohm.


    Can be seen and heard at chez Firebottle, near Dudley.

    £900
    I love Hendrix for so many reasons. He was so much more than just a blues guitarist - he played damn well any kind of guitar he wanted. In fact I'm not sure if he even played the guitar - he played music. - Stevie Ray Vaughan

    There is no number 4 on the way, but the rather more expensive “Ultime” that Alan already owns.
    I am more than happy with my BB3, and will be sticking with it for the foreseeable future.

    I’d be interested once my Pioneer SA7800 has found a new home
