@yyzsantabarbara ,
I can assure you Ralph and his staff will give you great advice.
Like I said, I owned both the MP-3 and now the MP-1.
Had I not moved to an Ayre KX-R, I wouldn't have known/cared about the difference between the two Atma preamps.
So, if your budget limits you, I would consider an MP-3 in a heartbeat.
-And, you can always upgrade when finances allow- like I did.
