Ok. I have a BAT VK-P5 phono pre that has served me well for about ten years. It was great as a moving magnet or moving iron cartridge type pre, but doesn't have enough gain for a low output moving coil cartridge. I use a K&K Premium step up transformer and get excellent results with the BAT. It is built like a tank and seemingly, the tubes last forever. I changed all the tubes a couple of years ago, but kept the originals, as they measured great and I could not detect any differences with the replacements.
