Parks Audio Budgie Hybrid Phono Preamplifier With 2 Sets of 6922 Vacuum Tubes

Description

In the attached video I have the Budgie connected to the Aux of my Fisher 400. You can kind of see it to the left of the Fisher 400. The Parks Audio Budgie Hybrid Tube Phono stage provides 46 dB gain, MM/MI only, with resistive loading for HOMC and all MM carts. This item is no longer available on the Parks Audio website. I thought the original Electo Harmonix tubes sounded great, but when I switched to the Gold Lion I did hear a noticeable improvement. Item Description from the Parks Audio website: The Budgie Hybrid Phono Preamp has more gain, lower noise, and a lower output impedance than the regular Budgie, so you'll get the sound you want and the volume levels you need. It pairs up better with powered speakers, integrated tube amps, and high output moving coil cartridges. This is the latest and newest model to date. Item Description: - Single-ended, Class A, JFET and vacuum-tube audio path - Active RIAA equalization with hand-matched components - Uses external 6DJ8/6922 tubes for ease of tube rolling - 46 dB gain suitable for MM and HOMC carts - Exacta™ monotonic loading system allows 16 different loading choices - Quiet DC filaments - Muting circuit at start up to eliminate pops and thermal noise - Powered with an external 12V mini-desktop supply Listing Includes (1) Parks Audio Budgie Hybrid Phono Preamp (1) External 12V mini-desktop supply *(2) Electro Harmonix 6922 tubes *(2) Gold Lion 6922 Gold Lion Genalex High Gain Tubes Copy of Exacta loading codes. *Both sets of tubes still have a lot of life left in them....
