No, I don't remember which issue but perhaps if you did a google you would find it and many others. I use a shelter 501 mk II right now, I have also heard it with a shelter 7000, very nice, and a clearaudio concerto, very very nice. I think the compliance of the clearaudio was a littel better match to my tonearm. When I listened to the clearaudio we hooked my minimax up to an Audio research L26 preamp and Ref 110 amp driving Wilson Sophia II's. It was really nice and had great detail, air, super base. Perhaps a little forward on upper mids but I think that might have been a difference between the wilsons and my verity parsifals. We then hooked up Audio research's top phono stage in place of the mini max. Sounded wonderful! Just as good, well almost identical to the minimax. If price was equal I could be talked into taking the AR but I would not pay more for it. That being said the AR had stock tubes and it does have a lot more adjustability than the mini and perhaps with a differenc cart. I would have noticed an improvement with the AR as I hear it is a real reference piece. But, with my $2500 and below carts, and carefull cart selection the mini max is a keeper.
