FS Firebottle 2 valve phono stage.

[Floyddroid]

How these compare Audiolab on board phono stage?

How these compare Audiolab on board phono stage?I'm pretty sure the Firebottle will be superior, I compared the original 2 box Firebottle Plus to a Trigon Vanguard II, a Whest 20.2 and it best them both, for my system anyway. This Firebottle will be even better [emoji6]

Totally different beast.

How would this compare to an Arkless? I am wondering how valve and SS compare. I currently have a passive pre amp and then active speakers so not sure if valves would work well with the passive pre

i should think it would piss all over it lol

I'm currently using another of the excellent Firebottle phono stages with a passive pre amp and can only recommend the combination.

There is no problem with using valve phono stage with a passive pre.

re comparison with the Arkless, and I'm guessing you mean his modded Cambridge Audio stage, this Firebottle is a far more expensive stage. Bought new from a dealer you would be looking at several thousand pounds. So comparison not really valid,
