Sort of... My phono pre is built in to my McIntosh C220 preamp, and it is MM only. I have toyed with the idea of a Step-up Transformer, but the expense of a good one is daunting. I run my modded Thorens TD-166MkII with 2 pickups, each on its own 'arm wand: A Denon DL-160 (which is a High Output MC, so technically not a MM), and an Ortofon OM-30 Super. I have an OM-40 stylus in waiting for when the OM-30 is finished. Yes, there are differences between the Ortofon and the Denon, but they are mostly subtle. I spin some vinyl, but I have to admit that I mostly digitize my vinyl for use on my server and in the car (an ongoing 10+ year process). For this purpose, my vinyl rig is more than adequate. I get many compliments on my needle drops from fellow audiophiles, so I guess I am doing something right, even with my not-so-high-end rig.
