Superb phono stage in excellent condition that earns rave reviews. Built in dual-mono configuration from the power supply upwards. There are two separate amplifier stages for MM and MC cartridges, both being fed from their own regulated power supply. I used it with a Dynavector XX-2 Mk2 cartridge to great success. Works with most cartridges.
I'm selling because I’ve recorded all my LPs and going 100% digital streaming.
