And even a 50wpc into 2ohms "bruiser" (that one is not OTL). They are all kits but for a reasonable fee there are customer... | |

| Suggestions for Phono Preamp The rich Saudis will scoff at spending less than $1000 on a phono preamp, but you really should give the IFI phono preamp a trial. It has EXTERNAL switches for gain settings for MM and MC cartridges of various output levels. I tried it with a mid... |
