Ill chime in again, its three months later and Ive used the Doge 8 with some other power amps and compared it to a few more pres. I also finished a complete restore/ upgrade of my Cit 1. I have a hard time telling the Cit from the Doge. If anything the Cit 1 is a tad warmer. Everyone whos come over to listen is impressed with the Doge and agrees its a steal at Pacific Valves price. I tried a few other cartridges and suts and they all sounded great through the phono. A definite giant killer.
Doge 8 or YS A2 or Jungson J2?
Looking for a line stage preamp with remote volume and source selection, and these look pretty good for the money. I can't find much by way of reviews through Google, so am hoping some of you have impressions of these units, or just of the manufacture or sound quality of these brands. The only recommendation I have received so far is for the Doge. I need a 230V version and each of these can do that.
Thanks for any insights.
