Still have both. Strictly on sonics, a no-brainer. Budgie all the way.

The Mani is, by far, the best under $200 phono preamp I've found when you consider it's gain/loading flexibility. Sonically, I'd rate it and the Hagerman Bugle 2 a tossup. Being a tube preamp, the Budgie is a chameleon. Warm and rich with the Matsushita 7DJ8s. Clean and detailed with the stock EH 6922s.

I'm thinking about getting the Budgie myself. Where did you get your 7DJ8's? Thanks.
