Hi Everyone, I believe that my phono preamp (Groove Project) with a very slight modification can use low output MC cartridges. It is fine with ones now that deliver 1.6mv (Denon DL110) and I can get between 6 and 10 db more gain with little trouble and probably not much loss in S/N. So... to comply with either of the turntables I have I need a MC with a compliance of about 10-20. The only one I can find at a "reasonable" cost is the Benz Micro MC Gold. Anyone out there using this? Any other suggestions? Denon DL103 and 103R are common, but will have resonances in the 16-17 HZ range. Too close to audio and unlikely to track well.
Good Listening
Bruce
