I'm anxiously waiting for the Accenssion to arrive.  I emailed and was next in line right away.  No big company but a nice guy who I spoke with for 45 minutes about all sorts of things.  It seems ver casual and it's on the honor system.  I'll follow up with my experience.  I'm currently using a Conrad Johnson PV2A that has been modified to be just a phono pre.  It sounds great but lacks the gain I require for the rest of my system.  I was looking for another tube phone pre, but the Acccenssion and the thining behind it appealed to me so I decided to give it a listen.  I'll report back after living with it for a week or more.

The loaner program is great! I'm sure you'll be very pleased with your in-home audition. What kind of gain do you need? Are you using a LOMC cartridge?

Hello, 
No, I'm using a variety of vintage MM.  I have an Astatic 100, Shure V15, Stanton(Forgot the model) but top model with replacement stylus.  Stuff like that.  My current phono pre gain is 34.5.  I need over 40 I think.  I use it with my tube integrated at full volume currently.
I'm also curious if the upgraded power supply makes an audible difference with MM.

Gotcha, 34dB might be a bit low for some cartridges. You should easily get better sound out of the Accession M.
