If you believe that vinyl sound cannot really be reproduced without the help of tubes, then there is the Pro-Ject Tube Box DS3 B.
In case you love tubes, vinyl and the sound that goes with it, then it is important to start working with tube amplification as early as possible in the setup. Precisely that is arrangeable with the new Pro-Ject Tube Box DS3 B. This phono preamplifier is equipped with tubes as amplifying elements. Compared to its predecessor DS2, you will now also find a symmetrical output. The unit can handle both MM and MC elements. Control knobs on the front select the output impedance or capacitance. The gain is adjustable too, here.
The Tube Box DS3 B will cost you €1049.
