This. It looks like it has a very versatile MM phono stage with 30/40 db gain + 15 db variable gain and 16 different capacitance settings. I wonder how good this would be as an MM stage while I get goodwill enough from my wife to have my EAR 802 serviced in the UK. As some of you know, my EAR 802 has developed a fault in the phono stage whereas the line stage functions flawlessly. So I am tempted to pick up a 217R for use as an in-between MM stage. The specs of the Spectro Acoustics Phase Linear 217R are as follows (link: http://www.gammaelectronics.xyz/audio_02-1978_spectro.html).
