NAIM NA523/1 K-cards

good morning and happy holidays. I have a question: Are the Naim 523/1 cards optimized only for LINN Karma cartridges or can they also interface with other MCs? I have an Audio technica OC09 in the drawer. Alternatively, are there any direct experiences with other names?

I expect the OC09 will work well. It will probably be best to choose Cartridges that are not too bright and well-behaved at the higher frequencies.

The other option is to get the cards converted to an “S” spec that will be more universal it’s only a matter of swapping a component or two.

Well. I found them used and a modification before mounting them on the 102 will be easier. Do you by any chance know which components vary for the S version?

Between the two cards in question and an Audio Note S2 passive transformer towards an MM input, which is the best sounding solution?
