Anyone heard or familiar with this brand? I'm actually looking to upgrade my phono stage and was wondering if there are any opinions them here about their products.
I've heard of the Pi Pit phono stage but thats was a long time ago.

You might want to go for Richard Gray's Or PS Audio

I ain't sure now but I've seen Millenium Hifi carried Trichord phono stage and was reviewed here: http://202.186.86.35/audio/story.asp?file=...udiofile/13dinoI think Trichord products needs no introduction. Maybe have a chat with uncle Adrian at Audio Image SS2/PJ..he's definitely a vinyl afficiando! This post has been edited by bsl555: Sep 22 2006, 12:40 PM

Trichord not bad got one guy offering me his Tom Evans, for him is the cheapest phono stage but for me I have to triple check my account book.

Seems only a mobile phone number and email addy available. http://202.186.86.35/audio/story.asp?file=/1999/3/11pipit

In case anyone is interested, I finally called Frank just now.
There are 2 phonostages,
The Pipit 2, which is passive RM 1,200
The Reference, active or something RM 3,500
As in most mid phono stages, you have the flexibility to adjust catridge loading, gain and such.
He doesn't have a shop or even a demo system and I can't find user's opinion about it.
