fyi...something to consider; the Mp1 can only be run in balanced configuration No Expections!

@audioconnection hey John, I can’t remember off the top of my head, but I went with your recommendation and verified with volt meter

The MP1 is out of range for me financially, but I’m sure it’s amazing.  The MP3 was great.  I’m wondering if anyone has tried a Calypso with M60s

This statement isn't entirely true. We can outfit the MP-1 and MP-3 with additional RCA connections (both already have two unbalanced line level inputs).

Since phono cartridges are a naturally balanced source there doesn't seem much sense to adding RCAs to the phono input unless the preamp is a demo for a dealer. Just get the right interconnect cable and its all good. 

We've added RCA main outputs too- but the have to be switched. In a nutshell you can't have balanced and unbalanced at the same time so if RCAs are used then the XLRs become single-ended also.

You better watch out now Ralph. I got castrated in an earlier post for saying that cartridges were intrinsically balanced. I just got excoriated for saying that a stylus encounters friction in the groove and generates static electricity.
