Chinese RVC has had good reviews, bought by a few from eBay around £100 I think. Remote controlled.

Tisbury also do one £150 delivered.

Indeed, Oliver... Sorry, Paul. Please see the announcement (highlighted in blue) at the top of this, and indeed every other section of the forum, regarding said banned manufacturer.

I have an alps blue pot with 2 inputs, in a plastic box that I got years ago off the bay. The channel balance is out at low "volumes" and I loose some rythm/foot tapping but it I can hear far more detail than I get with SS of Tube. I was hoping to find something that might move me forward, that is to say offer better channel balance and hopefully a little more foot tapping.

I was offered a branded product that spec wise appeared similar version of what I have already for £50 -but turned it down because I didnt think it would move things forward, the box looked much nicer though.

I've just bought the Chinese pre and although there were some issues with the remote, now sorted, I can recommend it for sound quality. At £110 delivered it's a cracking little unit. If you do buy one and the remote plays up I now know how to fix it.

Just ordered one with upgraded transformer - from the shop page it looks as if that might be 230v against std 220v
