I've had the MX-VYNL in my system for about 9 months now and have been extremely happy with the price/sound performance.
My question is whether any other users have tried the iFi power supply or some other alternative to the supplied wall wart besides batteries.
Incidentally, I the MM section to be pretty much a feature swap vs the built-in stage of my Audible Illusions Pre, although it was distinctly quieter and also much more dynamic in the bass regions it was a little "drier" through the mids but with "airier" highs.
I've been running it MC at 400 ohms now for a while with a Sumiko Celebration II and the sound is everything I'd hoped for. Both the MX and the cart took awhile to break-in but eventually the sound stage opened up considerably and the roughness in the highs disappeared. It's the MC section where this device really shines.
