DO you agree with this? I had looked into this earlier and something turned me off to it but I don't recall what it was exactly. Possibly the gain.

And I've put an order in for a Hagerman Trumpet MC. Will report back. Current phono stage is a Project Phono Box RS with outboard power supply. It's great with MM but just too noisy with MC. Was thinking of getting the battery power supply but decided to go for the Hagerman instead.
