MiniMax Phono

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 :)

You bet my freind........!

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.

Davt,

Would you happen to remember which issue MF's review was in? I read the inital "blurb" in a recent Stereophile Recommended Components issue, but can't seem to find it.

Maybe my local library would still have that issue on file?

Are you currently using the MiniMax with an MC cart?
