MiniMax Phono

Dynavector 10x5 (HOMC)/Linn Basik LV-X
Virtuoso Wood (MM)/Clearaudio Satisfy

Since this phonostage is MC capable, I'm curious if anyone has used both MM and MC carts with it and can compare. Does it perform best with either type?

Thorman: So far, the GE 3-mica 5751's and Tung-Sol rectifier are working well for me. Thanks for the suggestions :)

Davt,

Would you happen to remember which issue MF's review was in? I read the inital "blurb" in a recent Stereophile Recommended Components issue, but can't seem to find it.

Maybe my local library would still have that issue on file?

Are you currently using the MiniMax with an MC cart?

Davt: I'll try to track down that review, since I'd really like to find out more about the MC side of the MiniMax.

I'm also stuck with a bit of a compliance issue - my current arms don't really have enough effective mass to work well with the majority of MC carts. I think that the Shelter 501 might work with one of them. The Ortofon Rondo carts seem to be fairly compliant.

Paul: With my current setup (all tubed) I'm feeling like I might want to stick with either MM or MC, rather than HOMC. I'm trying to keep the level of the noise floor down.
