I've got the full fat 4-Box paradise MC phonostage which I'll never sell. The MM phonostage is, however, a voyage of experimentation. I'm using a heavily modded EAR834P clone which I love. I might go down the BB3 route at some stage to replace the EAR834p clone. Anyway, I'm really really happy for you. I hope you have many years of enjoyment out of your excellent system.
PS I'm looking into the Hanze PSU
Hi mate yes that was my original plan all along as I wanted to get another arm for my TT and have one MM and the other MC but funds are always the crux of the matter so I’ve said to the missus that I will keep whatever phono I prefer ,for the time being , and move the other one on.
Once I do finally get another arm sorted then I will likely make moves on another phono aswell to save me fannying around with cables every time I fancy a switch, but for the time being it seems silly for me to have two stages and one arm .
All I can say with regards to the Hanze is go fo it. It’s a fabulous piece of kit, built for the long haul and does exactly what it says on the tin.
