I bought mine from Weilliang Audio Official Store.They are one of the big traders there.I have also found Hi Fi Exquis to be good to deal with and apparently they have service backup.Make sure you select the right voltage for your location.
This is an interesting option - cheap enough to buy on spec as well - thanks
That is the more expensive model 255 clone which is a balanced XLR version.Here's one: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005006605869173.html?spm=a2g0o.detail.pcDetailTopMoreOtherSeller.2.46fcDLp0DLp0p9&gps-id=pcDetailTopMoreOtherSeller&scm=1007.40050.354490.0&scm_id=1007.40050.354490.0&scm-url=1007.40050.354490.0&pvid=1c555bf0-b57e-49c2-9fd8-bd5eb3f3fb2f&_t=gps-idcDetailTopMoreOtherSeller,scm-url:1007.40050.354490.0,pvid:1c555bf0-b57e-49c2-9fd8-bd5eb3f3fb2f,tpp_buckets:668#2846#8110#1995&pdp_npi=4@dis!GBP!548.33!290.62!!!4926.58!2611.09!@2103849717180853081423220eb94a!12000037799742019!rec!UK!2016045634!XZ&utparam-url=scene
You can see more expensive options by scrolling down the page.
The one I linked to does have RCA unbalanced inputs, you can also spend half a day clicking on all the items that may interest you as you keep scrolling down the pages.
Just google FM Acoustics FM155 preamp clones.Plenty come up for me.Price variation is ridiculous.It is like some sellers whack on a higher price and hope they get someone silly enough to pay it. You should pay no more than 180 pounds plus about 50 pounds shipping.Plus whatever VAT/GST and import duty your government charges.I am in Australia and that is what I paid.That was for a 230 volt version.@jtgofish I couldn't find the FM 115 for some reason, I'm sure I have seen it before but that is often the way with AE, I should know I've purchased stacks of stuff from there.
yes i was impressed but the BC units offer 200 step volume control which for many CD`s is good , especially many orchestral or film soundtracks that require a bit of volume control and the remote is very important . the rubber rings around the volume control on the vibe are a bit basic possibly and they are getting old now
do arc make SS pre amps ?
It was my mistake, typed in 115 instead of 155, anyway for anyone interested here's a link.

What power amp might you suggest that would be a good partner for this?
Sounds really good with a Dartzeel NHB 108 copy.But they seem to prefser genuine 8 ohm speakers.Does not sound as good with my Gale 401s or Dynaudio C5s which are difficult loads.I also have an FM 300A copy that is very good and less speaker fussy despite having less power.That will drive lower impedance speakers well.An obvious match there I suppose.Also worked well with my Cayin A88T valve amp but that is nowhere near the sound quality of the two Swiss copy amps.
A pity finish is gold, I'd prefer plain black.
Only hybrid but meant to be very transparent, not the typical “warm” tube sound.
LS3/3B and LS9 were solid state. Not stuff of legend though.
