RE: MP3 phonostage…...

Balanced operation is fussy sometimes, but after listening to single-ended phono stages recently, for a second system, I cannot imagine why not to go balanced. The noise issues alone in SE phono are a pain in the ass, if you are used to the effortless dead silence of Ralph's balanced stage. The advantage of a true balanced design is huge, when it comes to phono stages, unless you like endless fiddling with ground wires, cheater plugs, etc, to get rid of hum and noise in SE. I am staying away from commenting on the MP3 per se, because I have never heard one, but I do own an MP1 and love it. It beats everything I have put up against it.
