Anyone here using Bent Audio MU MC into Modulus 3a

ctm_cra

The audible illusions has MM only, no MC thats why i need a step up for the lowish 17d2.

hoping that the Mu mc will sound good with the ai mod3.

Mid40sguy - To clarify, the TX103 that I am refering to is the same as what you are calling the MU MC unit. Enjoy!

The K & K phono stage only comes in one standard version, although Kevin Karter can customize the disign to some extent. This phono stage has both mm and mc capability and it also provides 3 or 4 load settings for mc cartridges. It cost about $1,700 new. This would be, in my humble opinion, a better purchase than the TX103 as it would give you superior phono with both mm and mc cartridges. There are other good phono stages on the used market that could be considered (eg. Audio Research PH3SE, Herron etc.).

How does one compare for example:

Ear 834P using its Mc stage vs my audible illusions modulus 3a with the step up like the Bent Mu MC ?

Not answering your question, but may i 2nd, or is it 3rd, the K&K. I had mine built at $1900 or in kit form $1550. The best vinyl reproduction I have heard in my system, by a country mile. Detailed, but not harsh, great base, soundstage, whats not to like, plus Kevin is excellent to deal with. In my research on step ups, my conclusion was that the Bemt was the best currently available at a realistic price. Do remember the problem of RFI that bedevils stand alone step ups. That makes the short captive lead of the Bent a plus. IMHO, it makes a built in step up even better, step forward the K&K
