Nice job on the impressions, Derek. I completely agree that the phono stage outperforms anything I have heard in the price range and beyond it. The stock tube setup is great but the Amperex were also my favorite upgrade. I've got to sell my ASL phono stage and buy one of these very soon.

Hi All,

Great job reviewing the phono pre Derek! The Mullards work well in my system but I like the Amperex very much also. Your review is very similar to my findings when we were deciding whether to do this project.

I hope you enjoy your time with the TTVJ Millett and we'll be in contact soon with the next reviewer.

We have a few on the list but if you want to get into the loaner action, please let us know soon!

As for gz76, please send em an e-mail with your address in Australia and I will get it to you in a week or so. (todd@ttvj.com)

Todd

Actually it's a week later now, so I guess it wasn't me.

HI All,

Tyrion now has control of the unit (or at least he is supposed to have it!) Hopefully he is enjoying it and getting to write a big note about it so we can hear what he thinks...

Todd

I will get to it. It arrived last week sometime and didn't listen much over the weekend. I can say this as an initial impression, it is a bit noisier than my phono stage. I have an ASR Mini Basis and it is one of the more quiet phono stages I've heard.

EDIT: I had sent it back to Todd after I originally received it. There was a problem with a hum that needed Mr. Millets attention.
