Sorry I made a mistake, the unit my friend has is only an MM phono pre NOT the MC one.BTW, check out the description of YS preamps from the their website, 3rd paragraph:
http://www.ys-audio.com/cono.htm
Then read the description in Audio Note Japan's website, 2nd paragraph:
http://www.audionote.co.jp/preamp/index.htm
Here is the complete text that was "stolen" from AN Japan:
>>>Tube rectification opens up the soundstage and allows the music to "bloom". The melody flows naturally, like a river. In contrast, solid state rectifiers emit electromagnetic pulses that resonate throughout the audio circuit and add an electronic haze that can be perceived as a highly unnatural noise or grain. The unnaturalness of the solid state rectifier's turn on/turn off cycle creates a choppy,
edgy feeling that over-emphasizes the leading edge of transients at the expense of a harmonic completeness and does not allow the individual notes to rise and decay naturally.<<<I knew I read this same description somewhere before.
