Can't think there are too many members here with either a Naim pre. or power supply, but my Prefix K with SME plug is suitable for (obviously) SME arms and, I believe, Ittocks and Ekoses; probably other arms too.

Used by me with Lyra Helikon and latterly Koetsu Black, it's a musical and dynamic performer; an added advantage is that it does away with the arm lead, sending line level signals from the arm base, almost.

Used under a Michell Orbe, there are many decks which have enough accessible clearance under the arm to accommodate it. It's not just for Linns.

With a 0.1 mv sensitivity and impedance of about 550 ohms, it'll work with most moving coils out there. Needs a (Naim) power supply or pre., which limits its versatility, but conversely offers a definite and worthwhile upgrade path.

Happy to p.x., though I cannot think what !

Good luck with the sale. Best place for a phono stage IMO - as near to the cartridge as it's possible to get, especially if it's a moving coil...

Have you also put it on PFM?

I quite agree, Dave; obviously Ivor Tiefenbrun does too, as his new Urika is similar in concept. Yep, 'tis on PFM, thanks.
