LongDog MC only phono stage.

This is hybrid design, JFET with valve output stage. Currently has a pair of '60's Mullard ECC88's, I'll include pair of Bugleboys it came with and a pair of Silver Sovteks (these are a little noisy, it's been recommended to clean the pins) + a quad of spare rectifiers.

Loading is via plugs, I'll include 100ohm.

I'd like £800, prefer collection from Derby but will package well if curriers are the only option.

Bump, this was spoken about as Trilogy 907 level at a recent bake-off, it suited my tastes better being more neutral. (I had a 907 for a while)
If it wasn't for a Paradise it would be staying.

May swap for cheaper MM stage to resurrect a Decca :scratch:

Got a £1 listing off ebay, so stuck it on there with some other stuff that may be of interest. Always cheaper across forum land.

I can’t believe this is still here at £800 it’s the deal of this year so far. This stood up there with my Trilogy 907 for sound quality and entertained a house full of HiFi enthusiasts at my bake off all day.

If you a looking for an MC phono stage you owe it to yourself to have a go with this Longdog.

Payment should hit your account within the next two hours.

Do you have a best day to collect? just give me an idea of options so I can start to plan the trip down which Google seems to think is a 4 hour round trip.

Oh your PM box is full again!!
