Found on a dodgy site, but I’m trying to line up a decent phono stage, anyone had one of these? Struggling to get in touch with the seller thanks to the 'megashitestore’
Friend has one, excellent stage, can’t be fucked to follow the link but be wary of the “heavily modified” bit - if done by someone competent, fine, if not - it’s worth a fair slice less than a standard unit.
I just realised. 1500?
Yep.
Ok. in that case, the 1500 is very good. Don’t know about the 1200.
The H1200 is a good PS.
I think @Myrman bought mine after I bought a Vida.
At that price it is good value and if the mod’s were done by Open Door (which they appear to be) he is competent enough
Allnic’s 1200 & 1500 are both very nice stages
The 1500 is a fair leap above the 1200 though.
Yeah but at each respective price point I think they’re pretty good.
Agreed
I have the HS1201. It is pretty good, and as mentioned decent value for money. It is slightly laid back so a decent match to a lyra. I wouldn’t want to chance it with a cartridge that was on the warmer side of neutral unless I was going to listen to Ella Fitzgerald 24/7.
1201 is a lot better than the 1200, which I found very average. Worth saving for a 1500 though. Everybody I know who has had an Allnic device has had to send it off to be mended.
Mine was fine, although I have heard of others having ‘issues’
I had to borrow a phono stage from you while mine went back to the doctor. I must return yours at some stage…
I’ve not had mine mended. It did need a new set of valves though.
I’ve heard that 1200 here, wasn’t any better than my Trichord Diablo and sounded like the stereotypical valve stage in comparison , lovely midrange but softer bass.
Depending what you’ve got it may suit? Keith’s a good fella too most active on Lenco Heaven.
Pop over then
Apart from me - my 1500 is still going strong no repair from new.
