It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!
One time when I was looking for a new DAC I went to my local hifi place and tried out three Dacs at home. Ended up buying one of them. Maybe there is someone near you that allows that.
Other than speakers I've found dacs can be the biggest improvement in SQ. But I have not used vinyl for years which you seem to prefer.

I like MMs, and would put the Reson Reca above the Denon DL103 for instance, or an Audio Note IQ. Haven’t heard the Ortofons but reading on the web suggests a balance I might not like.
I also listen too a lot of thick bass driven music and slam is one area where MMs can beat out MCs.

Never heard any Rega gear, so will look into what they have.
There is an Audio T near me but i once went in there to inquire about a support for my tt and as soon as i mentioned it was a Technics, he looked down his nose at me! I have never been back! I do prefer my vinyl over my digital at the moment.
I definitely wouldn't want to lose slam, which i think the Denon does have from reading! Not heard of the other carts but interesting you listen to similar music and prefer the Reson Reca!

Well i have emailed Glen about potentially upgrading to 'R' spec! I want to improve my analogue side of things, so am thinking upgrade the pre and at a later date think about another cart and dip my toes into the MC world.
I have mentioned to Glen that i use active speakers which have an input impedance of 15k ohms and the Micro 25 has an output impedance of < 300 ohms. Is this a good match?

I'm Dennis.
The rules on Impedance used to be that an O/P impedance has to be at least as low as 1/10th of the I/P impedance it is feeding, and your situation easily meets this.
The AVI S2000 pre has an O/P impedance of 0.1 ohms and can drive a light bulb.

you can just reverse the cables and you will be back in phase.

Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?
“Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".
“You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”
