    I hope it sounds alot better than it looks,...as it looks absolutely terrible! Looks like some cheap in-car amplifier.

    A dpa 200S phono stage is pretty valve-like (rare, spares don't exist but very reliable!) - one sold on e-pay for about £160 last week!

    If its any good then its a handy little thing - with the output control its effectively a one source phono only preamp - with the added bonus of a headphone output - neat. Course it mightn't be very good.
