Bottlehead phono preamp project during Coronavirus boredom?
Didn't really see any answers that I really felt like I could trust on that forum. My real intent was to figure out whether I could build a Bottlehead preamp that would sound good enough to use. I have recently acquired a Pass x-25, Supratek pre, ...

Time to move UP, speaker-wise...
I also still own a Nuforce sta 200 and Schiit Saga. Zu Audio has a pair of Druid Mark lV speakers for $2499.00. I think they would be a nice match.
