Bigbottle Audio BB3 Phono Stage in custom built heavy duty chassis.

£SOLD - PayPal friends & family please (free UK postage)

- 2 Siemens PCC88 valves

- 1 Telefunken ECC83 valve

- Neotech wiring

- Audyn MKP Plus caps

- Fully built power supply

- Custom heavy duty chassis with valve window

- CMC pure copper RCA sockets

£SOLD - PayPal friends & family please (free UK postage)

For sale is a Bigbottle BB3 phono stage. Currently setup for an MC cartridge and has happily run an Ortofon Cadenza Black as well as various Audio Technica OC9 carts.

Needless to say it's an incredible phono stage and regulary beats off competition at almost any price point. (I know you all know this!).

Low usage from new (I bought it from the original owner (Arke) whom built it from brand new only a year or so ago with very low usage since, plently of valve life left).

Only reason I'm selling it becasue I need a phono stage to switch between MM and MC inputs.

Not too hard to do if you wanted to.

Thanks but given that it's so well sorted and well settled in the current case I don't want to go messing about with it adding switches/drilling holes etc and potentially degrading the sound.

If the case wasn't so nice and so heavy duty I might give it a go but would be a shame to detract from how nice it currently is.

Crazy how things do/don't work out, for whatever reason.... If this were 48hrs earlier I'd be all over that to be honest.

I'll have a better idea where I am in a week or so, with that in mind if we both haven't sold by then I dare say a deal could be done 👍
