Built around a pure Class-A valve signal path with passive RIAA equalisation, it offers a warm, open and engaging presentation that pairs particularly well with quality MM cartridges.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTop-mounted loading switches make it easy to fine-tune cartridge capacitance without opening the unit, while its use of readily replaceable 6DJ8\/6922 valves allows for tube rolling to tailor the sound to your system and preferences.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe original Budgie is now discontinued, partly because the specific valves used in production became increasingly difficult to source.
