Are there any cheap Chinese valve phono amps worth looking at? Seems a
bit of a waste feeding a valve amp through the basic Project phono box
that I have at the moment.

Well there is the Pro-ject Tube Box, at 300 quid. I have one.

There are other types, too. Look on Ebay uk.

That guy in Hong Kong, 18audioguy or whatever TF he calls himself
has some, ISTR.

I have to back up Keith's recommendation for the cheap Chinese amps
though. The Value For Money is just STUPENDOUS. You look at all the build
you get inside, the amount of metal, transformer, valves, etc. for 300-odd
quid, and you wonder how the HELL do they even do it for that price.
Amazing, really.


You'll love this - got a bit of (fairly low-level) 'roaring' through the
speakers, playing vinyl the other night. I thought 'uh-oh' but gave the EAR
phono a smart rap and, guess what? - Silence again!!!
