## Description

desertcart.com: Douk Audio Tube Phono Preamp: HiFi MM/MC Turntable Preamplifier | Headphone Amp with AUX Input | VU Meter for Record Players, Vinyl Systems Audiophiles (T4 Plus) : Electronics

Review: Sweet looking Preamp at affordable price - We recently decided to pull our fancy LP turntable out of storage after 30 years sitting idle. We got caught up with the recent interest of LP albums and it sparked a strong interest within ourselves. I had previously given away all my receivers, amplifiers, and speakers away. I decided to keep the turntable and realized in 2023. I needed a quick refresher course on what I needed to play LPs with what I currently have. I was against purchasing a receiver or powered speakers. I have a Bose IV Soundtouch System and a Sony Soundbar. Lesson 1 - Get a Preamp! I did an exhaustive review of entry and mid-level preamps. I set my limit at $100 and this Douk Audio T4 Plus Vacuum Tube Phono preamplifier was the Chosen One! It looks amazing with the needle movements and soft casting amber lights. The red volume control knob is a nice contrast and feels amazing as you dial it with your fingers. The two vacuum tubes included were a bonus and happy it still fell into my budget. Hooking this between my Denon DP-71l turntable and the Bose Soundsystem was very straightforward. Just need to plug in the RCAs and ground to the Phono In - Douk T4. And then Line Out RCAs to a 3.5mm plug inside the Bose. Once I had the settings set on the Bose, put the needle onto the track and enjoy! What I immediately noticed is the volume is low. I cranked up the volume knob on the preamp to the max and then raised the volume on the Bose. I am not sure if that is how it should be but it works in the meantime. I did notice the music sounding better after 30 minutes or so since the tubes needed that timeframe to assimilate all the signals for deeper and warmer tones. I am also ecstatic the preamp has its own power on/off setting. This Doul Audio T4 looks stylish and classy right alongside the rose wood of my turntable. Definitely happy we jumped back to listening to our LPs with a little help of this preamp. 5 Stars! One issue - I also received the preamp in an unsealed box. So weird. At least nothing fell out and all seems to be in order. Have a great one to you all!
Review: Works well, packaging not great - As at least one other reviewer has noted, the box came UNSEALED. No tape, no gray bag, nothing. I verified I received all the arts that I was supposed to (preamp, DC supply, audio cable, 2 tubes, manual). However, the DC supply had a European plug (round pegs), not at all what we use in North America. I happen to have a stash of wall warts that matched the requirements of the preamp, so I was lucky. As for the sound, well I'm using it to digitize old 78 RPM records direct from a phono cartridge. So for me, it sounded fine. Plenty of headroom, no audio distortion. VU meter worked fine, although one meter for a stereo preamp is a little weird, but the purpose seems to be little more than eye candy. I am using the tubes that came with the preamp, but I may try other types of tubes to see if it really makes any difference. Physical construction is very good, feels solid. One small plus is the cartridge ground screw is the kind with a very small hole that accepts a 22 AWG stranded wire typical of the ground wires that come with most turntables. So it's not just a screw that is hard to get the wire to stay on. Overall I think this is a good value for the money. Just wish the vendor would seal the box before shipping, and provide the correct type wall wart (DC supply). Thanks for reading.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Expectations exceeded
*by C***S on December 4, 2025*

There are a lot of decent affordable Chinese preamps available nowadays & that's a great thing for those of us on a budget. I had a Fosi Box 2 that I was very happy with until it died after only 3 years. I took a stab at this one that cost a little more hoping for an upgrade that'll last a longer. I can't speak for the longevity but I can report that it is an upgrade in terms of sound quality. The Fosi had a lot more bottom end & gain but this Douk has some of the crispest highs & an impressive amount of definition. Rush (2112, Farewell To Kings & Hemispheres) has never sounded better on my system. I do need to turn it up the volume a bit & boost the bass on my EQ but the results are breathtaking. Astetically it's very pleasing as well. The build is very unique & I can stare at the volume meter all day long. I'm not likely to use the additional features; headphone jack, AUX input & MM/MC capablity bit I suppose others will & it's nice to know I've got the option. If you're looking for a budget preamp, this offers great value with excellent sound. Give it a try, I think you'll be happy that you did.
