Hi,
I am looking to give Vinyl a try. Looking for an MM Phono stage.

Budget around £50.

Thanks
Shaun

You could look at the Chinese 'Little Bear' units on ebay. They seem popular, there are a few members using them and the prices are very good. Just make sure it comes with a UK power supply if interested.

^ Those Little Bear units seem too cheap to me. Thirty odd quid for a valve anything is just astonishing. What's the catch? :scratch:

None as far as I'm aware.

Still looking......
