Anyone here using Bent Audio MU MC into Modulus 3a


Just want to try moving coil. Right now a dynavector 10x5. The audible illusions has enough gain to drive it.

Itching for an upgrade, a got a good deal on a used 17d2 II cart the other.

The modulus 3a dont have enough gain to drive it.

Research shows that the Bent Audio Mu MC is a very good step up.

Has anyone here actually did a Mu MC into a Modulus 3a ?

Comments highly appreciated.

Thanks.

Here are Arthur Salvatore's thoughts on them:

I used the AI M3A with the built in Gold MC phono board for about 5 years. I thought it was quite good at the time. I then moved to an integrated amp and purchased the K & K Audio phono stage. Without question, this phono stage is a big step up from the phono stage built into the AI (before you ask, yes I did do substantial comparisons of the two). I then got a chance to hear the Mu Mc through my K & K and it was a significant, further improvement over the Lundahls built into the K & K. I bought a used the Mu Mc to used with my K & K. All this to say, the Mu Mc is the best step-up I have heard in my system and I cannot imagine that you would not be happy with it. However, I think you need to question if it is really worth spending a substantial amount of money for an improvement in the phono section of the AI. The AI is already quite limited and you would probably be better off spending that extra money on moving to a different preamp altogether. Just my opinion, of course.
cleopatra,

thank you for the reply.

Which model of the K&K did you purchase ? at that time, what wasthe price for it ?

thanks.
