So far so good

It's still early... ask me after a month or six months of use. But after a few listens, I'm very happy with the preamp. This was an upgrade from my previous one. Now I need to upgrade the rest of my system.

Awesome Sauce!

There are but a few things that are able to put a permanent grin on my face, here’s one of them. So far, every Fosi product I bought exceeded my expectations, this time is no exception. The Fosi tube phono pre amplifier really gives my sl-2000 that extra sweetness that takes me back a “couple” of decades. You guys are like lego’s for big kids!

Great for the money

I have a riaa (transistor) in the same pricerange. Then I got this recommended, bought it and tested. There was no comparison from the transistor riaa to this tube riaa. The tube riaa sounds way better. Well done Fosi. Keep this price and you got a winner.
