Welcome to www.thirtythreeandathird.co.uk

A long, long time ago, in a galaxy not too far away, a young man discovered the joys of valve amplifier and vinyl, and became so obsessed with music and audio, he dedicated his life to the ‘audiophile’ cause, setting up his first part time company back in the late 1980’s as nothing but a spotty kid.

Or just click to ask questions :)

Limited edition gramophone / pick up preamplifier. The '33.3 Limited Edition' Limited to just thirty three, this phono stage has been designed for the absolute best sound quality per £.  It is designed and built in Lancashire, and boasts some sound enhancing features. Obviously all valve (2x ECC83 double triode Class A operation). Each channel is assembled on it's own individual board, mono construction if you like. The shortest signal path possible, with no need for internal wire or connections, maximising low level detail and lowering distortion. A separate power supply is included in the price, minimising hum field and power supply induced noise. All components arevery high tolerance and very carefully selected. All are hand made, and all are subject to 100 hour burn in and test. The design was to make longevity and low noise a priority over absolute gain. Unlike some of our competitors, the sound quality of the '33.3' will not deteriorate with age. The circuit uses active RIAA equalisation, again using the highest tolerance matched components throughout. Specially selected Golden Dragon valves have been fitted.
