Jim Hagerman makes quality audio products and sells his designs as kits. Take a look at his website: Hagerman Technology LLC.
The name of Jim Hagerman was brought to my attention by our gracious moderator GerorgeO when I started looking for a suitable phono pre for my Scheu TT. Being me, I took my own sweet time and till now did not get a decent phono pre. I was awakened from my slumber when FM arj visited me and made the comment that my digital rig was performing way above my analog rig (mostly TT).
I was almost set to get the Pass DIY Pearl 2 and started exchanging e-mails with FM omishra when suddenly one day recently I visited Jim's webpage and there I found his new project Cornet 3 which is a tube based phono pre. The original Cornet and Cornet 2 were highly acclaimed phono stage, and even his beginner level bugle and bugle 2 phono stages have been highly successful.
Obviously I became very interested in Cornet3 and finally became a backer of his kickstarter project. You can find all about the project by going to his webpage and clicking on the kickstarter link on top of that page. I have pledged USD 410 in support of the project, and in return I will receive a fully assembled and tested Cornet3 tube phono stage shipped to me. The Cornet 2 kit itself cost much more than that amount, and according to Jim Hagerman, this new phono stage will compete in the USD 2000 bracket.
Our moderator GeorgeO knows about Hagerman's products and himself is an user.
Unfortunately, the project is alive on kickstarter only for 7 more days. The project is already oversubscribed by almost three times the amount initially targeted.
Regards.
