Hello all,
Doing some homework before dipping my toes into the wonderful world of tube preamps. I'm currently working a Pro-ject Debut Carbon with Ortofon 2m Blue into an Emotiva XPS-1 and into a Tivoli Model Two receiver. Eventually I'll move the Tivoli out and go for a better main amp and bookshelf speakers. I'm not planning to get into mc carts anytime soon, though - after the Ortofon, I have a Nagaoka 200 lined up. But for now, anyone have any pros/cons between the Pro-ject Tube Box ii and the Yaqin? I have a line on a used former that puts it at only a $75 premium to the latter. Is there any real difference between the two?
