What phono preamp are you using?

Anyone using a Soundsmith cartridge? And if so what phono preamp are you using? (Individuals with other cartridges feel free to chime in!)

Wish I had the Zephyr lo output MIMC now, as I think the Trumpet would be even better with a lower output cart. The standard Zephyr is 2.4 mV. Sounds pretty good regardless. The Trumpet, and Zephyr, is highly recommended.

Fast and dynamic with great timbre and color.
