Is the Curico gain set for MM or MC gain, and how does it sound?
I think the Curcio sounds amazing! I've had the Jolida phono, the Musical Surrounding, and a Diva audio tube as well as the Odyssey Tempest phono, and I think it sounds best of them all! It's very detailed and full bodied, not warm but very musical! I love it! A friend is working on a board for it and it may / could become a production run of sort...
If you're in the Bay Area, let me know...I can have you over or anyone else...
