    I have no clue on what it worths. Poor feedback except from sellers as usual. https://tmraudio.com/consignments/audiomat-phono-1-7-mkii-mm-mc-phono-preamplifier/ An opportunity to get one for half the price.

    Question Three phono stage, which one ?

    Can’t stop listening or reading things about phonostages. Opportunities to get special offers on huge Phasemation EA-320 but super expensive by the way. Another opportunity is Kora phono stage, another one is Yoshino… No way to try it at home.

    Question Three phono stage, which one ?

    Actually : I do not know. I did not know this one. Too many phono stage on the market. I would like to ask why not my shortlist ? Not good ones ? Poor quality price ratio? They are renown : maybe easier to sell them someday.

    Question Three phono stage, which one ?

    Even with one less zero, it’s still too expensive. That one is more in my budget : View: https://youtu.be/k9vTGqoO0wk?si=CmaQ1ghG-77ww7Tl
