Firebottle Vivant MC/MM Phono Stage

[mikeyb]

SOLD SUBJECT TO PAYMENT


Not sure if this the right thing to do but I fancy trying something else. Whether I'll find anything better for the money is debatable but I'll try [emoji6]

This is Serial #001.

Think the current new price is £1200. This one has been upgraded by Firebottle to his top spec for this stage.


The middle pair of inputs are for adding loading plugs on the mc side, I have 37, 100 and 470 to go with the stage. The mm side is preset at 100.

Plenty info in Analogue Art section regarding this stage. I can't remember the exact figures for the gain etc, I'm sure Alan will be along to check on this thread and will let us know.

Selling at £825 including postage within the UK.

Thanks for looking.

Congratulations on the sale mate. I'm seriously wondering how much you're going to have to spend to improve significantly on it. Been much improved on its travels and little tweaks have yielded great results.

Congratulations to the new owner, you will not be disappointed, I'm sure.

Keep us updated with where you go next Mikey!

Like I say this could be a serious error of judgement and another box I should have kept along with the Colin Wonfor amps I used to own.

But it’s just not fitting in the the rest of my kit, and I’ll be honest I put it up for sale on a whim that’s it’s the Vivant I’m not happy with, I might find when I try something else it’s not been the Vivant at all but some bit of cabling or setup in tt that’s the issue.

Time will tell, if I’m wrong then I’m going to sell the whole bloody lot and start again ��

As for the next spend, well I’m hoping if I buy second hand I can get value and my budget will be around £1000 [emoji6]

I just hope you've done the right thing mate but I know you've been tormented by indecision over the system for a bit now so at least you've made a move.

Or just get shot of vinyl once and for all [emoji23]

Could recoup many £1000’s and be at peace lol
