Ampapa A1 Vacuum Tube Phono Preamp, Headphone Amp, Hi-Fi Audiophile Preamplifier for MM Turntable Record Player with Tone Control for Home Stereo Audio System

Great Pre-Amp. Much better than the one built into the turntable.

The media could not be loaded. Well made, excellent finish to the surface. Very nicely thought out design, neat compact and beju’! Adds body to my overall sound with more punch in the bass, more body in the vocals and smoother treble. Further enhances the soundstage of my Muses 8920d equipped JYCO D325X Ti3255 chip based Class D amp from Aiyima. Im using Airplay with the Wiim Pro to a Topping E50 dac to the Ampapa A1 to the Amplifier and Ampapa really has added some Nitros Oxide to the sound! I swapped out the valves and replaced them with Mullard EF95 giving thicker low end and more body to the mid range and vocals over the Jan 5654. An improvement. I purchased from DOUK AUDIO via another retailer (no offence Amazon) but if permitted am happy to leave a review of this little gadget anywhere. This will beef up and smooth out most if not all small class d amps like the Aiyima A07 series. It will bring a good helping of tube warmth to an any cool digital sound signature. The soundstage with the Muses 8920d is good as is but adding this seemed to improve balance with a good even tonality. It has brought a more lively, engaging listening to my ears. Good speakers help too and so far my Monitor Audio Bronze 200s are getting on like a house on fire with this combo! Excellent piece of work for a reasonable cost.
