I gather you are connecting the unknown phono stage to a line level input on your Allnic integrated. Yes? If so, it's highly unlikely that your apparently odd result has anything to do with the interface between the phono stage and the Allnic, assuming nothing on either end is grossly defective. Most tube devices offer a high input impedance which is compatible with both tube and solid state source components.
Anyone in or near Ann Arbor?
I bought a highly regarded phono pre to compare against my Thoress. It doesn't sound right in my system, seems to possibly be a mismatch with my Allnic 300B integrated? Unfortunately I don't have any other gear to test with. So, if you're near me and interested in letting me hear it in your system please let me know. This is a standalone phono pre, MM/MC, RCA in/out, many different load settings.
