Don't buy Allnic H1201 phono stage new.

I just bought a new one with the full knowledge that a replacement was coming. I got an amazing deal on the unit, which is far less than what the replacement will cost. No doubt the superlatives for new over old will be extensive but that’s okay, since I will have extra $$ to buy new vinyl!

So I guess what I am saying is that your thread title should reflect that good deals can be had on a new H1201.

Even if the deal looked good people would be wise to wait until someone compared directly the old and the new. 

It is likely that the new version will be almost $2000 more than what I paid for my H1201. For some people this will be fine but for me, it is too much of a price difference. 

 Perhaps you would like to tell us just exactly why you anticipate that the new model will be so far superior to the old one. Because it is not necessarily the case that a tube-based power supply will make for a better sound compared to a solid state one. I for one have my doubts. Very often these days model changes are merely a device for raising prices.

+1. The only thing that can be said to be true about "new" is that it's different somehow. There is no entitlement attached to that word.
