    Default Wtd. Phono pre-amp.

    Hi.
    Does anyone have a MM phono pre-amp that is now surplus to requirements? MM capability is a must but it would be nice if it was also MC capable
    I am not looking for something exotic, rather more the other end of the spectrum. I have cash available but also a limited budget .

    Power: Belkin PF40, Custom.hifi.cables Hydra and DC PSUs.
    Sources: Self built HTPC with Xonar ST sound card, NAD T585 multi disc player, Sony BDP-S350, Squeezebox Touch, Techncs SL1210 (mod'd) + Nagaoka MP30, Thomson Sky HD box.
    Amps etc.: 2 x Mini-T amps, MF-X10D Valve buffer clone, StanDAC 7520/Caiman (mod'd).
    Speakers: Mission 774s with added super tweeters
    Cables: best I can afford and likely to change except Homar's RF attenuated co-ax's and Mark Grant USB and HDMI cables. I also like silver i/cs and speaker cable.

    Thanks Chris,
    I've PMd the first one but the second one is a bit more expensive than I wanted to pay. I have had that one recommended before actually.

    I use the battery version for one of my cartridges and it's very good. They're doing the standard one for £99 (free delivery) at the mo' on their website.

    Thanks to those that responded but it looks as though my existing pre - amp may not be as sick as first thought. I think that a new 9v rechargeable battery may be all that is needed. As I am very happy with the performance I'll keep it a little longer.
    Thanks anyway,
    Dave.
