Collecting names - tube preamps with onboard tube MM phono stages

[Tangram]

Oh, apologies. I looked at the CJ and it was a line stage only version. Good tip to look for older preamps that have MM. Tough to demo though.

Only for clarity, Thoeress is not using step up transformers. His first stage for Phono is a J-Fet/Tube Cascode.

Read the description maybe something for you, last price i know 9.5 k€

2023 latest price I think is a little more and looking forward to exploring one in early 2024.
The Thoeress Full Function Pre with remote looks to be an interesting option for @Tangram and less than the Enhancer price tag, a great one box solution.
I opted for the Dual Funtion Pre and Phono Enhancer MkIII.

Don’t forget the rather special looking Leben RS28cx pre amplifier. Comes with an excellent built in mm tube phono stage and a separate matching power supply. I use a Coincident SUT to raise the gain to suit my Airtight PC1 supreme mc. Superb sound quality (IMO) for the money. Search for Jeff Day’s detailed review for further information.

Thanks! I’ve seen Leben’s integrated for sale in the Canadian market but admit ignorance of this preamp. Very interesting option. Thanks!
