Russian Tube Preamp, No Return, Here I go again

All the anti Russian sentiment is based on the demographic who haunt this place. You’ll find the same people in the China=bad camp as well.

Its so predictable its funny.

Einstein make an error when he said that stupidity is infinite...

It is not, stupidity is predictable like the 4 seasons in some countries. like the monsoon in another...Stupidity is a recursive tedious self repeating process giving the false appearence of the infinite....

The repetitive motives of hate has not changed from Eden and Cain to this day....

I apologize for my post, i take this occasion to correct Einstein, it is not often that i can do it.... 😁

Just get a little Monoprice small hybrid integrated.  It's a nice little amp, very clean.  Tube front end.  Sounds nice for an office.

just for fun while waiting I'm still peeking at tube phono preamps, 

this Muzixshare integrated amp looks a lot like my Cayin: construction/quality/features/25w triode/45w ultralinear power rating ...

AND it has built-in phono and headphone amp, meters, external bias control

If I didn't have/love my mx110z's phono, and IF it had 16 ohm taps and IF it sounds like my Cayin, I would try it, perhaps then sell the Cayin.

I think you missed my point, I don't like ANY of those currently available preamps, none too special, most ugly IMO (don't forget, I'm an Interior Designer), thus I could not have gotten the 'same' domestic product.

Once again, like the Russian tonearm, this one turned out to be the only currently available one that appealed to me, the one I couldn't forget about while searching for others. Not awesome looking, it just appeals to me.

Both my Fisher 500C's sound great, but, aside from extra height they are very deep, even deeper with input cables, they won't fit here.

This preamp will fit on the 14" deep bookcase top even with cables connected. If I make a cutout in the back of the bookcase for ventilation and cables, I can fit it on a 11-1/2" deep shelf.

It's always a mixture of considerations that lead to a decision.
