I currently have a Musical Fidelity XLP/V3 phono amp which I have let my son use to determine if his in amp phono stage is low quality, no surprise that he now wants to buy a phono amp. I am wondering if anyone knows which Graham Slee amp will offer the same or better performance to the Musical Fidelity with a MM cartridge. He has a Thorens TD160 S with sme series 3 arm and ortofon om20 cartridge. I am also thinking about an upgrade to a MC phono amp but would want an upgrade to what I have. I am using an LP12 ITTOK and Audio Technica AT33EV. Any advice appreciated.

Thank you for joining the forum Andy. That is good equipment so I suggest trying the Accession M or MC. As you probably know you can borrow the loan items, please try the Enigma PSU1 too.
