Has anybody ever heard of or used this phono preamp ( http://www.hagtech.com/bugle.html )? The basic unit can be bought as a kit for about $67 plus shipping.

I found out about it through this review ( http://www.audioxpress.com/reviews/m...hansen2090.pdf ) of budget stages, and they seemed to like it.

The company seems to be geared towards the DIYer, and they have a wide variety of designs available.
