Review on Pro Ject Tube Box DS2 Black by Jason Vigen

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Huge improvement over Tube DS Original

MUCH easier to dial with all controls on the front compared to the jumpers on the originals. And AMAZINGLY quiet because there's a tube in there somewhere if not the main circuit. A nice 8 dB quieter than my Musical Fidelity MX-VynL underneath it, it switched to the same circuit. Possible issue; I can't help but think the resistance scale is wrong as the same MC reference carts and charts I keep here are used to require say 150 ohm loads on the Tube DS register almost twice as much, to achieve the same result on the DS2. . I also want you to be able to climb through boost levels and come back, not just up. Overall a definite improvement for the same price so I call it a win.

Pros
  • One year trial
Cons
  • Requires power outlet

Purchase this to bypass my turntables internal preamp and the difference is night and day
