I purchased a Hagerman Bugle 4th gen from lokerola, he worked with me to try Pirateship for the first time to save a few bucks on shipping. This phono pre is making my re-tipped MA-282 sound better than even - maybe even better than my Darlington preamp. It was a great deal and was packed carefully, shipped promptly. My experience could not have been any better, thanks again Alex!
