    Default Gemtune MS23B valve phono stage, any users ?

    Been wanting to dip my toes in and try a valve phono stage without spending too much money, this one is about £140 on Amazon and looks pretty well identical to one with a Yaqin label which is around £200, be interested to get comments from any users on the forum, from what I’ve read online they improve nicely with a bit of tube rolling.

    I'm always dubious about those cheap Chinese Phono stages for safety reasons.

    But I know a few on here have tried the Nobsound etc and I haven't heard of any problems.

    There is a great Firebottle for sale here... top stage, although a bit dearer, it was cheap when new at over £500. Had one myself.

    Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?

    “Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".

    “You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”

    I've got a Yaqin I really like it just needs some better valves in it to sound great.

    Love one but a bit out of my price league, also it’s for my 2nd tier setup so I don’t want to pay too much.

    Yes I'm pretty sure it is, it's not here at the moment.
