The HR (High Resolution) version of this classic high-end phono stage.

Original owner. In very good condition. Has been factory set to suit a Van Den Hul Frog, gain 0.65mV and loading of 500 ohms. Can be sent back to Tom Evans to be modded to suit your choice of cart of course.

Comes complete with Hera PSU, instruction sheet and original packaging.

Asking price (inclusive of insured UK delivery): £260.

PM or email hchtang at hotmail dot com if interested.
 
hey dude.. its david... (remember i bought the 8000Q hehe :-)

how do you think this phono stage would work with a rega planar 2 and audiolab setup?
 
Hi David,

I use run the ISO-HR through the 8000Q as a matter of fact, although it was into a pair of ATC actives, I did once try this front end through an 8000P and some Epos 11's and that was also good a combo. My T/T was and still is a Michell Orbe. The Planar 2 might be a bit outclassed by the ISO-HR. Also depends on the cartridge you plan on using. Worth a shot for the money, but then I would say that wouldn't I! :)
 
i have plans to mod my RB-250 and put it onto something a bit nicer anyway.. such as a systemdek IIx900/audio note TT2 or origin lives self assembly deck. Gyrodek SE also being an option :-)
 
A ''phono stage'' bake off would be good one day don't you think?

Hard to hear all of the phono options..
 
It's easy to hear mine, it's louder then the CD player at the same spot on the volume control :-)

I take it the Bel Canto pre's pretty good Henry?

Agreed Chris, that would indeed be a great idea. :) Only problems I can forsee would be getting all the units warmed up from cold to give them all a fair chance, and compatability with the host system's choice of cartridge for those units that happen to have factory fixed gain/loading settings.

Not really been doing much critical comparative listening, but listening to my tuner through the new pre compared to using the former B/C integrated as a pre is certainly an improvement! Not tried running the CD player through the new pre-amp yet, I just run the CDP direct into the power amps as before.
