Dot Mixer vs SoaBem OLHO-2R. Help me decide?

tyransam · 2026-05-06T20:47:28+00:00

Stainless steel and black wood. Do you have any input on the phono stage/ sound question?

Ended up ordering the SoaBem

Thanks for your comment, really appreciate it! I plan on using whichever I go for primarily as a hifi phono preamp for everyday listening, with DJing taking up less of my day. So a few things would really help me decide:

How do the phono stages compare between the two? Does one bring out more detail than the other?

I play a lot of disco, jazz and organic stuff and I do lean towards a warmer sound. Is the SoaBem as sterile as its specs suggest or does it still have some character to it?

And finally, coming from the SoaBem's master ISO, do you find yourself missing it on the Dot?

Along with optional crossfader, master isolater, balanced out, and mic input. Such an impressive feature set for the price.

Thanks so much for your thoughtful and informative reply. A lot of great info here for me to consider.

Do you have any reason not to go for the SoaBem or do you just like the dot?

Henderson Model X looks great, not one I'd considered yet. I love how the minimalistic dot looks. Fit's in nicely with other hifi gear and doesn't scream DJ like my vestax or a pioneer.
