A well reviewed budget tube phono preamp.
I think that 10% code will work for all eBayers, 12% for Plus.
With the 10% discount this is cheaper than it's ever been on Amazon according to the Camels.

Comes with a 12V power supply and is suitable for MM (Moving Magnet) turntable cartridges, not MC (Moving Coil). I think most cheaper turntables will be MM.

Note: This is a preamp which amplifies the turntable signal up to levels suitable for an active speaker or an amp that does not have phono inputs. You can't just plug this into a passive speaker.

This one seems to come with 6A2 tubes, the Amazon listing comes with 6J2 tubes.
These are bigger but does that mean better? I'm afraid I don't know.
Hopefully someone more knowledgeable will jump in to advise.

    How does this compare to something like Nobsound Little Bear T7 for $65.99?

    Edit: Nevermind, I just read the review you posted. Not so good

      The guy in the VinylRestart review linked above seems to think the Fosi is better but he hasn't actually listened to it so I'd take his review with a grain of salt!

        I've purchased it and will give it a go! The final price came to $65.11 for me. Thanks :)
