ETF.13 LR Phono Shootout

My build is complete and it’s absolutely fantastic. Currently in system, I absolutely love it.

Also the quietest phonostage i have ever heard, and by a healthy margin. I’m powering with a Jan Didden Silent Switcher.

Thanks. I looked at this phone amp in the past, but built the Bottlehead Eros instead. I’ve been very happy with it, but I have been finding the joys of the tube alternatives. After I put my BA-3 pre together I may make the ETF.13 LR phono my next project. As long as I’m not distracted by all the new amps from ZM and NP.
 
To answer the question of the LR phono "shootout" at ETF 2013, the winner
was a preamp made by Gerd Reinhöfer. He can not be asked any more ..

The shootout itself was inconsistent. Contestant 4 who gathered low appraisal
in round 1 did much better in round 2. Contestant 2, the final winner, had low
acclaim in round 1 and nearly the lowest consent in round 2.

Contestant 3, nearly excluded in round 1 was first in round 2 and last in round 3.
Winner of round 1 by a large margin failed and was excluded in the second round ..

All this with only 5 preamps. Generally you can not trust the results of polls like this.
