LOL Maybe not, but I'll give anything the benefit of the doubt until I hear it.
Remember way back in the day when Radio Shack was still around? The "Little Rat" battery powered phono preamp was around $12 I think and opinions were all over the place from "beats a $1000 preamp" to "It's garbage...don't use it" So many of those opinions were written by folks who had never heard the thing.
I went out an bought it and compared it to a couple of phono preamps I had that were in the $40 to $125 range... all I can say is that I don't even remember those other preamps and the "Little Rat" is still in use. IME is way better than IMO. Everyone has a freaking opinion... fewer have actual experience. Did the Little Rat beat a $1000 preamp? I don't know... the most expensive preamp I have is the Hagerman Cornet and it doesn't beat that... but it did beat all the low priced preamps I had including the MMF Phono Box or whatever that's called... so it's not garbage either... and for $12 (or whatever it was... I remember it was dirt cheap compared to everything else at the time) it was great.
So don't count out the IKEA Hipsterphono...
At least until we hear it.
