phono pre amp giant killer?

I've never had or heard a Cornet. I've owned the MM but long before the Seduction. I'd say quality is quite close to par between the two. MM uses 12AX7s which tend to have a bit more tone than the 6922 family, which some prefer as 'faster'. The MM has step-ups which is a big boon if you're going LOMC but a waste if you're not.

Both units are dead silent, extended, with correct tone & timbre. It would take a side-by-side to say more.

And, yes, people do all kinds of creative things with Bottlehead chassis; the sky's the limit.

Thanks to all for the posting. I decided to go with the Seduction with the c4s upgrade. Any Tube rolling advice for this setup?

Thank again
Andy

Hey andy! Good choice, you won't be disappointed! I have some nos tesla tubes, and some amperex holland orange print tubes. The amperex are magical in my setup.

If you just need MM, then check out the Yaqin MS-12B, change out the horrible tubes for some NOS and you will be rocking in no time.

How would the phono stage in a fully-restored Threshold SL-10 or fully-restored ARC SP-6 compare?
