MP3 phono cascode mod

OTL Asylum

OTL, Output Transformerless Amplifier User Group.

I am currently using old Grado Reference (5mV) cartridge. Volume level is at 8-9 o'clock.

Some old treads mentioned cascode mode in MP3 phono stage: removing middle two 12AT7 tubes, and placing jumpers (between pins 1-3 and pins 6-8) in tube sockets to reduce gain and better sound.

Any experience or suggestions?

Does factory have jumper/adapter for purchase?

Thanks.
