Thanks James - that sounds like a simple thing that could be done by a customer in the field if I’m reading that correctly?

Yes, I have done it and I believe the jumpers were clearly labeled or at least obvious in their location.

Hi Bill

You try to reduce the magnetic interference as best you can with internal phono stages and with MM stages it easier than with high gain MC stages.  External phono stages eliminate the issue all together of course but add cost and connector requirements.

Its a tough call - I have not measured the the difference between our internal and our external phono stage but I have the MM stage in the BP-17 Cubed at home with the Bryston turntable and an Ortofon MM cartridge and have no issues at all. I also have the BP26 with the Bryston turntable and the external Bryston MM/MC Phono Stage with the PS3 power supply and a BENZ moving coil and it also performs very well.

Hows that for a political answer !!!
