To my ears, the K&K phono has substantial bass response than the Cornet, clearer mids and more believeable imaging. The ability of the K&K to portray the illusion of "just like live" is more natural. The Cornet is as quiet as the K&K, at least the one I had. However, if you are going to use the Cornet with an MC cart and will employ a step-up requiring gain equal to or more than the 1:10 turn ratio, you can really hear the tube rush from your speakers. I'm not thrashing the Cornet, I love mine when I had it but the k&K is much better as it should. Godspeed.
