For the MiniMax users:

Which cartridge(s) do you run with this phonostage? Feel free to also list the TT/Tonearm.

Thanks :)

Davt : Same here..RCA 3 mica B/plates 5751 and Tungsol Rectifier.. Also find the Stock power cord does not help matters either..V/D Nite Power cord works wonders for me...Real nice phono amp...........
Dynavector 10x5 (HOMC)/Linn Basik LV-X
Virtuoso Wood (MM)/Clearaudio Satisfy

Since this phonostage is MC capable, I'm curious if anyone has used both MM and MC carts with it and can compare. Does it perform best with either type?

Thorman: So far, the GE 3-mica 5751's and Tung-Sol rectifier are working well for me. Thanks for the suggestions :)
It's going to sound good with any cart. I've used one with a Blackbird, Denon 103, and several other LOMC carts with excellent results.
I would strongly recommend it in MC only. I did listen to it with a dynavecto 10x5 and felt it was only so-so, a little flat and thin. I would recommend reading michael fremers old review of this phono stage and it will explain why. It is a good phono stage with MM but it is the special parts for the MC that really make this a magical phono stage.
