Came across my FIREBOTTLE OTP MK1, sitting in a box at the bottom of my wardrobe and thought, gosh! this is way too good to be sat here doing nothing!
Cracking little phono stage this, which punches way above its weight and bettered the stage in my big Sansui AU a707DR. I it enjoyed immensely, as well documented here, until I dug deep and spent almost £1k on an Aurorasound Vida Prima.
I'm sure it is set to mc only, but honestly cant remember as I only use mc, but could be wrong - Alan-Firebottle might be able to confirm ?
Just to note, both myself and Andy-Electronumpty who owned before me both found an occasional random channel drop/dip, which we both put down to the spring type loading plugs which we used, as a twiddle in that area would usually sort the issue. Personally I think it is the horizontal rear panel, as I found that when pressed would respond with the said channel dip/cut out, so my assumption is that this is due to a inconsistent connection / solder joint.
Cant see it being hard to remedy, Alan-Firebottle may well look and sort it.
Either way, well worth £95 - posted, of anyone's money. Oh!, I will include a nice set of loading plugs 100ohm for mc.
