I need me to get one of those, but they are rare in the used markets here
I don't understand, 74dB of noise (MM) is 6dB smaller than 80dB of noise (MC)?
Sorry, I missed the (all
Important minus) -74dB and -80dB

Can't explain it then either. I too would expect more noise with MC.Sorry, I missed the (all

Are those figures for the Duo? Where did you find them? This is what Amir said in the review:Can anyone help me understand what’s going on with my Cambridge Duo.
I have it plugged into an RME ADI-2 Pro. I noticed that MC mode had a lower noise floor that MM. MC was about 80dB while MM was 74dB. With my limited knowledge, I had expected MM to be quieter?
I disconnected everything and tried just the Duo and RME connected, to see if anything changed. It did not.
Is this expected or could something be broken?
Thanks

BTW, has someone found a way to disable the auto-off feature? Annoys me a bit, i always start to play the record and then wonder why there is no music.
DISABLING THE AUTO POWER DOWN
If you wish to disable the APD function, then press and hold the power button for 5 seconds when in standby.
I have one, it's a solid device.The Duo is currently on sale at £200.

That worked, thanks a bunch.I don't own one but the user manual (p3) says:

Thanks - I sent this over to another thread from a guy in Italy who was looking to upgrade his phono.There is a used Duo for sale for 150€, in Rome/Italy. Chances are high that the seller agrees to shipping, because the device is small:
