Are there advantages/disadvantages in high or low output MC cartridges?
The high output Dynavector 10X5 through my Spectral pre-amp has been wonderful so far.
I'm currently using a low output Ortofon MC 30 Super, which I previously thought was a bit bland until I put it through the Albarry MCA 11 phono stage, now it's a fantastic cartridge.
So is it better to use a high output into the MM stage of a pre-amp or a low output through a phono stage? ( I don't know the technical difference between a step up transformer, head-amp or phono stage).
I fancy a Micro Benz Glider or a DV 20X or maybe a Shelter, a lot is said about all 3.
