The C165BEE phono stage works just fine. I use it with my B&O MMC20CL cartridge and it's an excellent match. All the inputs are top notch as the amplifiers are essentially discrete op amps but at a higher voltage which gives them plenty of working room. This is especially good as my Sony CDP302 has a maximum output voltage of two volts which is a little unusual. The C165BEE is also a good match for my much modified NAD2200 amp so it should work well with the C275BEE amp.
