Dear @lewm : you posted:
" . I am a happy owner of an MP1 for about 25 years. "
Between other things is not what the OP asked for but never mind the issue is that you don't tell the complete " history " on your unit but only a part of it.
Why did not tell in your post that you made it a heavy modification at the SS input gain stage in your unit and latter on ( years latter. ) you bougth a second hand fully SS Phonolinepreamp that twice in this forum you posted ( one of them to mijostyn ) about its superiority/quality against what you were accustomed for all your audio life because you are a tube lover but even that you still own that SS.
Maybe today you don't like it any more and if it's this way then why not share the complete history, makes no sense to me but obviously that you have a precise and specific reasons for not do it that way.
