Thanks to Raysablade of this parish, I took my first foray into the world of dirt cheap Chinese hifi via a Little Bear MC2 passive preamp.
I needed something that would allow me to switch sources whilst temporarily using my Epos ES14’s due to my other speakers needing a repair.
I have to say, I’ve been mightily impressed with it. I realise passive pre’s aren’t complex things. But even so, for just over £30, it’s amazing and if anything, my system seems to have benefited from running a passive preamp.
I was aware of Nobsound as a friend runs the little bluetooth amp in his kitchen.
Just wondering what others experience of cheap Chinese brands has been like? I realise build quality or possibly reliability isn’t going to be the best, although having said that, my little box seems well made enough.
