I'm pretty much all MM now using AT VM760SLC, VMN50SH (for sale in the classifieds), AT150EA and a Goldring 1012GX my phono stage is a Trichord Dino Mk2 and Dino+ is this my best course or should I swap it for a dedicated MM.

System is Plannar 6, Quad Artera Analogue Pre, Quad Elite QSP and Dynaudio Contour S3.4.

Probably wouldn't make a blind bit of difference mate.

The Dino is Mk2 is a fine phonostage for MM. I had one for ages and I eventually went over to the Diablo and the NCPSu. Do you want valves or SS?

I want SS as it would be a better match with the Quad.

I used to run a Dino/Dino+ set-up a few years ago. Fabulous set-up.

I thought as much this is my 3rd Dino actually my 4th over the past 7 or 8 years but the first time I've used MM's with one, it does have two MM settings which is nice but I thought perhaps a dedicated MM with variable loading would be nice to try anyway I'll stick with the Dino for now perhaps an NCPSU will be a better change.
