I agree with tooblue. I have owned all 3 iterations of this preamp; original Modulus 3, Modlus3A and Modulus3B. The phono preamp is of excellent and very high end quality. I suffered with the dual volume controls because the phono preamp was so great. Something is wrong somewhere.
Audible Illusions M--Are you using built-in phono or external phono preamp?
Hello,
re: Audible Illusions M3B...I feel the built-in phono input is not as dynamic as the other line stages, CD,DAT,etc.
The volume is much lower but more importantly the dynamics are reduced and do not improve with an increase of volume. Yes it gets louder but it's missing something.
I am using a mid-priced Pro-ject TT with Sumiko Bluepoint 2 MC cartridge, 2.5mV.
Although not the best stuff ,i still feel a a little disappointed. Would an external phono preamp resolve this issue?
Or i am expecting too much from vinyl?
thanks guys
mike
ps: this preamp otherwise is spectacular!!!!!
