Forum rules
Note that Tir Na HiFi does not take any responsibility for transactions arranged or carried out here. It is up to the seller and buyer to check each other out! Please be sensible folks, and if there is something you think is wrong, let a mod know, OK?

To make it as clear as we can, here are some simple guidelines:

a) like any forum, the success of tirnahifi is entirely dependent on discussion. All members are encouraged to participate in discussion of music, hifi, etc.
b) tirnahifi is not designed to be, nor intended to be, a marketplace. Any member who uses the site merely for selling will be looked on suspiciously.
c) those members who choose to sell on the site should be aware that the mods do keep an eye on the stuff for sale, plus the demeanour of the seller. Sometimes we may lock/delete/ban a sales thread on this basis.
d) honesty is paramount in all selling transactions. Commercial sellers who label themselves as such are accepted at the discretion of the moderating team.
e) All ads have to include information about age, price, provenance, etc.
f) THE MODERATING TEAM RESERVE THE RIGHT TO REMOVE ANY ADS AT THEIR DISCRETION.
g) Commercial sellers should approach any of the moderation team in advance of posting. First time commercial posts without moderator contact will be removed.

Hi Guys,

I'd like to upgrade my current NAD PP2i phono stage, I'm looking for something better but not at a mad price neither.

Cheers

I have a Tom Evans for sale. It's on Adverts too and for some reason there's interest in it these days! It's down to €450.

Thanks Ivor, but it's unfortunately way over my budget (around 100€)

This kit has a pretty good rep:

with more info at:

Add a wall wart for now, think about a better supply down the line.

Don't think you're going to get anything better than that for ~€100. The VSPS kit from RJM audio is good too, but the extra bits outside the kit will bring you above your budget.

What about this one ? For the small price difference, maybe it's worth having a valve one...
