Hi want to buy a valve phono to go with my Ortofon black

Preferable is a firebottle - just missed one by the looks of it

Sold a WAD phono2 a couple of years back and that would be my second choice I think

Or any other suggestions you have for sale?

Thanks a lot :)

Kind regards

Jamie

Hi Jamie,

I have heard the Firebottle phono stage with the my 2M black and it is superb - hope you find one although if you ask Alan (Firebottle) the MM version is not that expensive.

Buy a new Firebottle, about the same cost as a used WAD phono would be..

And much better in your view?

Its my only point of reference valve phono wise as I used to own one!

Well I've not heard anything to touch the Firebottle at or near the asking price.
