    "Phono" cables from the TT to the PS audio pre(it's an interference/shielding thing)I like the VPI phono cables in mine,,you can find them on A'gon reasonably priced,but they go fast,,I'm currently lookin for some Van den Hul "first ultimate" ,,BTW,,the PS Audio pre that you picked has been quite the rave and,according to the experts?(grain of salt),,has quite a nice upgrade/mod path.Seems as though you've assembled a very nice vinyl front end,,enjoy. :)

    Thanks George!! I hope you are keeping an eye on Jerry:D

    I got the PS Audio pre for half price so I thought I would try it. Just for kicks I installed it with the old Onkyo turntable with a 20 year old Audio Technica PM7000 MM phono catridge and couldn't believe the difference it made. :cool:

    How are the options in the PS Audio pre set up for gain control i.e., straps, dip switches, trim pots etc.?

    I think it has a button for MM or MC, no straps or switches. I could be wrong though.

    Here is the manual for it, if you want photos of it let me know. Additionally, here is a link to a short video that shows all the adjustment features including what can be controlled via the remote.

    Ah Haaaaaa! Very clever design! Not only do they have preset gain control switching in the rear of the unit, they have a "variable gain" control vs an attenuator on the front that you can adjust manually or remotely. Very, clever design if you aske me. I would imagine that with a very low output MC cartridge set to the lower gain selections in the rear, being able to adjut the gain manually bit-by-bit you will reduce the possibility of hiss. I really like that, very cool.

    Nice very, very nice Bro.:)
