Anyone here using Bent Audio MU MC into Modulus 3a


Just want to try moving coil. Right now a dynavector 10x5. The audible illusions has enough gain to drive it.

Itching for an upgrade, a got a good deal on a used 17d2 II cart the other.

The modulus 3a dont have enough gain to drive it.

Research shows that the Bent Audio Mu MC is a very good step up.

Has anyone here actually did a Mu MC into a Modulus 3a ?

Comments highly appreciated.

Thanks.

How does one compare for example:

Ear 834P using its Mc stage vs my audible illusions modulus 3a with the step up like the Bent Mu MC ?

Not answering your question, but may i 2nd, or is it 3rd, the K&K. I had mine built at $1900 or in kit form $1550. The best vinyl reproduction I have heard in my system, by a country mile. Detailed, but not harsh, great base, soundstage, whats not to like, plus Kevin is excellent to deal with. In my research on step ups, my conclusion was that the Bemt was the best currently available at a realistic price. Do remember the problem of RFI that bedevils stand alone step ups. That makes the short captive lead of the Bent a plus. IMHO, it makes a built in step up even better, step forward the K&K
Cleopatra 52,I was just curious,have you listened to the latest edition of th AI M3...thanks...
No! The latest I heard was made 1999. I believe there have been improvements since then but I do not know how extensive they are or the improvements they make.
is this the K&k you are referring:

Total SE Phono Preamplifier Kit :
(full implementation including MC/MM load selection and MC input transformers) $1549

Is $1900 a totally built unit from K&k ?
