Douk Audio T12 Tube Phono Preamp MM/MC

The Douk Audio T12 is a tube phono preamp for MM and MC turntables (45 dB / 58 dB gain) that doubles as a line-level tube preamp with ±10 dB bass and treble sliders and a 3.5 mm headphone output. It suits vinyl listeners whose amp or powered speakers lack a phono stage.

Who the Douk Audio T12 is for

• Amps without a phono input: Phono gain of 45 dB (MM) or 58 dB (MC) with RIAA equalization brings a turntable up to line level for an amp or powered speakers that lack a phono stage.
• Cartridge upgraders: It handles both MM (45 dB gain, 47 kΩ input) and MC (58 dB gain, 150 Ω input) cartridges, so moving from MM to MC doesn't mean changing phono stage.
• Hands-on tone shaping: Bass and treble sliders adjust up to ±10 dB, with center detents that make it easy to get back to flat.
• Late-night headphone listening: The 3.5 mm output drives 32–200 Ω headphones at up to 350 mW; plugging in mutes the RCA outputs.
• Two systems or extra sources: Two switchable RCA outputs (one active at a time) feed separate amps or powered speakers, and the RCA line input takes a CD player, DAC or streamer.
• Skip it if: you mainly listen on headphones or IEMs rated under 32 Ω; Douk says low-impedance headphones can pick up background noise from the headphone output.
