Description of πŸ”Š Little Bear T7 Vacuum Tube Mini Phono Stage RIAA MM Turntable Preamp & HiFi Tube Pre-Amplifier (Black) - Experience Audiophile Sound Quality

This product can be used as a MM Turntable Preamp or a HiFi Tube Pre-Amplifier and can provide high fidelity and warm sound beyond your expectation. Please do not connect T7 to any inferior Bluetooth digital amplifiers except Class T digital amplifiers, since all Class D amplifiers have very loud background noise. Its tube(6J1) can be directly replaced with tubes like 5654, 6AK5, EF95 .etc. Its mini size makes it more portable and be suited for a variety of scenarios and Its alluminum body makes it strong and elegant. Upgrades of the new version: 1 The gain switch is moved from inside to outside. Customers can adjust its gain more conveniently; 2 The circuit is optimized and the noise is lower.

Sounds amazing. READ ALL REVIEWS CAREFULLY.

So. I give you an abridged version of all reviews. Of course, what you need to know about this device is that it takes time to warm up. about 10 minutes. for optimal sound quality. When I turn on this unit for the first time, you may hear a SMALL hum. like REALLY weak but the buzzing goes away after about 5-10 minutes. Let it warm up. Peeps also suggested replacing the standard bulbs with GE bulbs, which I did, which sounds fantastic. I'm not sure how the standard tubes sound, but i kept them…

Pros
  • Do not connect the T7 to other lower-end Bluetooth digital amplifiers than Class-T digital amplifiers, as all Class-D amplifiers have very loud background noise.
Cons
  • Not sure

I love this preamp! .After several adjustments.

I'll be brief and concise with a few professional tips.1. Read reviews and ignore criticism.2. Buy upgraded tubes. Don't worry about researching, Revain suggests you buy them in the "Frequently Bought Together" section.3. Before connecting this preamp to a turntable, flac player or standalone speakers, do the following: Loosen the front panel screws. Look inside and you will see a switch. This is the GAIN switch. It is set to HIGH. Use a screwdriver or something to gently pry it away from you…

Pros
  • Updates to the new version: β‘  The gain switch has been moved from the inside to the outside. Customers can adjust the gain more conveniently; β‘‘ Optimized circuit and reduced noise.
Cons
  • Little things

They give this LITTLE bear a BIG sound!

This is my first experience with preamps, let alone tubes, but I'm perfectly happy with the look and sound of this little unit. It looks pretty with glow-in-the-dark tubes and is easy to set up. It also includes a ground wire with alligator clips on the ends - which was nice as it wasn't listed, and as I used it with a turntable it was perfect! My version has a red boost button on top (not on the inside like other reviews have mentioned), but as others have suggested, you don't need to enable…

Pros
  • The miniature size makes it more portable and suitable for different scenarios, while the aluminum body makes it durable and stylish.
Cons
  • Not bad, but...
