Aside from the font, I think the design and front panel stands on its own.

Zero hum.

I suppose you want a preamp to be as neutral as possible, unless you are using a pair of active loudspeakers that might have a razor flat tonal balance that you want to thicken up.

The MU-2 has its own sonic signature and that’s ok. It’s just on the warmer side and that requires careful cartridge matching.

Pierogis are great. My grandma never made them.

Front panel has strong McIntosh look.

Any hum issues?

And no mention of pierogi?
