I have a cheap Yaqin ms-22b tube phono preamp, it has surprisingly good warm sound when played. The specs on it says it has a .5v output. Would that be per channel, or all together? Also if it is in fact .5v could it be played through the mini torii, and at what expense?

Also what would be the best way to listen to the mini torii with headphones? I read a thread in the general discussion thread stating you could do it through the binding posts, I'm assuming you would need the planar headphones for that? Any affordable suggestions?

Thanks again, I'm awaiting my mini delivery and am so psyched. Just have these last minute questions!

You might simply want to try the phono preamp in the MINI with a 12AX7 tube to see how the phono preamp works.

I use a Marantz 2226B receiver for the phono section. doubt if it puts out more than .5 or .7v. I find I can turn my MINI TORII all the way up when playing records and it is loud as I would ever need.

Thanks a lot guys. As long as it doesn't effect sound, a little less volume shouldn't be much of a problem. Can't wait to see what this thing does!!!!
