EXPIRED WTB: MM Phono Preamp

[wasabijim]

Item: MM Preamp - any brand considered
Price Range: $250 - 400
Item Condition: Used
Extra Info:

Looking at  2nd hand options to upgrade from my Rega Fono Mini. Preference is for a MM only unit as I have no foreseeable need for MC capability so don't really want to pay for this feature when I wont use it. No preference for brand and model but for examples / comparison I've been looking at Rega Fono MM, Lounge Audio’s LCR Mk.III, Graham Slee Gram Amp 2 SE, Naim Audio StageLine N (MM). happy to discuss anything however not overly keen on tubes.  My system is nothing flashy and the listening space is the multi-use living room so not after anything too extravagant. 

 

Hitachi PS-38 (late 1970's TT), Ortofon 2M Blue, Rega fono Mini, Onkyo TX-8150 integrated amp, PSB Imagine XB (bookshelves)

Here's an option that would be hard to beat:

Mark's battery MM phono stages are excellent and stunning value to boot!

Hi, thanks for suggestions / offers let me look into them

PH08 looks interesting with its separate power source, similar price to Rega Fono MM on special, but the PH08 has unnecessary (for me) MC functionality. trying to figure that into the mix...
