Thanks Spencer, as I have never had a phono pre with capacitance setting options, I did not know it was only used for MM.

The MIMC and Sussarro are still MI (moving iron), but as they are both lo output, I believe work more as a MC carts vs MM.

If Steve is using the custom 400 jumper at the MC resistance slots, that may be a tad low per Peter’s recommendations. Again, I prefer my MIMC at 1K, and have read other lo output SS (MIMC, Sussarro, Voice, etc) users prefer the same. But as I said, if I had the option of 800-850, I have a feeling that may be perfect.

 

One thing I do not quite understand is as that phono pre has two inputs, they did not allow settings for each, at least from what I can understand? Are those two MM and MC options R&L, or for inputs 1&2. Which would allow for two different carts/tables to be used.

As it is the 4th of July holiday, re-pulling this as a little celebration….
