Easily doable but I reckon it would not sound anything that special. The Arkless 640P kind of works like this and it allows me to offer MM and MC on this without the usual compromises being such a big problem. However, although the Arkless 640P sounds great and is excellent VFM, it is a fairly budget product and I reckon using similar technology in a head amp to place before a £1000+ MM stage would likely hold back the overall performance...
