Is my preamp mm or mc or both ?
I’ve been asked if the counterpoint preamp that I have for sale is one or both of the above , I think they came with mm as standard , is there anyway of telling what phonostage it has ? It says riaa which may have nothing to do with my question.

Google the model specs. Most pre-amps of the era came with MM only and owners used an SUT with them. My money is on it being just MM.
It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!

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.”

I would expect it to be mm - if mc could be used it would be by way of a switchable option. Isn't riaa to do with mm anyway?

It was MM only and back in those days, we used a step-up x'mer for MC.
