Funny you should ask such a question, Andy. You know I've got an old Denon PRA 1000 preamp. I believe the preamp part is almost good,, but the MC phono on it is really bloody nice to my old ears. I tried it with the Dynavector today and I actually enjoyed it more than with the AQVOX. I've always wished I know how to cut the preamp out of the path and just use it as an mm/ MC phono amp. Always wanted to try your Paris head amp, And Paris, Texas is one of my all time favorite albums, also.
