It is. It is a NAD PP4. Before this I had a Yaquin MS-22B. It was only a MM preamp. The NAD is both MM and MC. It even can do the LOMC carts. That is what prompted me to look at the LOMC cartridges. It really sounds great. Even when I was running my included MM cartridge, I noticed that the sound had better separation when I moved to the NAD. I am really happy with it.
