Been keeping an eye on the stuff coming out of Poland in recent times. There was a guy knocking out Phonostages using Miniature Valves recently on ebay but he's disappeared now.
Spotted this fella too.

Seems to be very reasonably priced. I think the components could be a little better but still, £250ish for a decently looking phonostage. Shame he doesn't say how accurate. I might ask him. |

Here’s a photo of it. A shade lighter than a Tma3 but pretty cool looking. I'm not mad keen on the little yellow caps they use on the dip switches. I'd rather have them out and have a set gain and load. Obviously that's a personal thing but it's got to sound better |

Smps, basic phonostage, loads of diy versions of the same available. Very similar to the cambridge audio 640p or whatever the current version is.

Will it be better than a Rega at twice the price?
