What phono preamp are you using?


Anyone using a Soundsmith cartridge? And if so what phono preamp are you using? (Individuals with other cartridges feel free to chime in!)

SoundSmith cartridge can work with any good phono stage if this phono stage have optional loading and gain for MM or MC. After very simple mod my JLTi mk4 can provide whatever load impedance I want (RCA plug resistors on the back). Latest mk5 also can be modified by the manufacturer to let you change loading for MM. Amazing phono stage! 

I also use Gold Note PH-10 with PS-10 and WLM Phonata Reference.
Current mode MC phono stage from 47 Labs (Phonocube).  
Optional Luxman toroidal silver or copper SUTs 
Optional headamp ZYX CPP-1 

Too many cartridges here.
