He says, "I believe these sensibly modified chrome cutie phono preamps could be the best budget phono stage available; especially if you can DIY"
Below is a link to one he refurbished, but there are other posts as well. Just search "Chrome Cutie" (mostly in DIY/Tube) if you're interested.
Maybe it's part nostalgia, where it was someone's first phono set-up, combined with the idea that they can be greatly improved with some careful work.
It's probably wiser than some of these current production inexpensive "tube" phono stages where the tubes are used as buffers and pretty lights, while all the heavy lifting is done via op-amps.
