MM Phone Preamp for DL103 (Already have a stepup)

Just do the Schiit. It MIGHT last for the interim.

How about vintage? There was a Conrad Johnson PV3 for sale on EBay a while back $700 + shipping! Pretty neat unit - three 12AX7's and a 12AU7. I bought one there several years ago too!

Thanks for the suggestions @solypsa. Hageman is a great idea. I wish I could get a Le Phone fast enough but shipping from Ana takes quite a while.

@dhcod My pleasure :)

If you end up in a bind I can arrange to send you a demo of the AudioSpecials Phonolab that I represent, but I figured you were looking for a lower cost option while you get your Lamm worked on!

Slightly OT: what upgrades are you doing to the Lamm? Just curious ;)

I lost a channel because the tube sockets need replacing (It's a LP2). I still haven't asked what upgrades they are doing for the LP2s still. They may not offer anything anymore but I'm prepared to listen if they offer something.
