What a great looking preamp. I love the sound of a good tube system. It's too bad RU-vid won't let you include audio samples, but the Ampapa looks like a great product.
I have a Fosi Box X2 which i enjoy but i just purchased this Ampapa. I like that i can adjust bass and treble. I like the LED, adds a nice cool touch to the appearance. I run a AT lp120xusb with the vm95ml cartridge
I have a Pro-Ject Debut turntable without a built-in phono stage, so I connect it to my Cambridge Audio AXD 100D receiver phono stage input, if I buy this Ampapa A1 would I still connect the Ampapa A1 output to the receivers phono stage input, or to another vacant input ? not seen a single video as yet that shows how to complete the connections for best results !
The whole oils on your skin thing is more of a myth. You'd have to have some really hot tubes and even charring for it to have any effect (more likely to corrode the pins if anything). I'm glad they included decent tubes, rather than the cheap Chinese ones most others come with. I wanted to try some Mullard M8083s but I've never had any luck with them, far too much distortion to be tolerable.
