I have one, an ECP-1. It is very good with low ohm MC cartridges. My Van de Hul MC10 likes it (73 db). All my MC cartridges like it. The ECP-1 likes well recorded music, it plays what it gets. The MM output of the ECP-1 could have more gain (35 db). It just does it all well. My Grado Ref Ref with 1.5 volt doesn't have enough gainn MM mode, but sounds very good. The Grado ref ref does not do well on the MC input. The 10 ohm resistance of the EP-1 drags down the highs.
I also have the new Grado phono PH-1 preamp. It is very good but a bit noisier. If you have a Grado, you need this preamp. Synergie, Synergie!
