High output MC carts

So what gives in sound quality or is it just more or less volume?

It should be no big deal I´d say. The Croft seem to have some 1.7mV sensitivity on the phono input and on top sports substantial gain - I wouldn´t worry unless you are having gain/volume issues already.

As for sound quality, I suspect nothing.

However the only High output MC's ive used are Denon 'DL110', 'DL160' & Mayware 'MC7V'.. The latter of which i still have & will get tipped when funds allow

Oh, sorry... my fault.

I'm wanting to go to a higher compliance cart, see what the arm likes best. So I've been recommended the MC1 or MC3 to try but just wondered which others would be good to try.

Nein they are both low compliance!

I had a Dynavector 10 x 5 for a few years and I thoroughly enjoyed it, it was agile and revealing, I thought it was good value for money.

Hi Alan.

How is the Audio technica AT24 on the 124?

I didn't like the high output Ortofons, the MC1 in particular was very unrefined to say the least. Same applies to the Sumiko BP. I found the Denon DL-110 reasonable, but a bit bright and breezy, the dearer DL-160 was much better and sounded very pleasant, the Dynavector 10X in its various versions over the years has always been good too.

Thanks very much all... All the best.

I have a few high out put denons here that I plan to experiment on with better cantilevers and tips so one may be up for grabs once I have done my Frankenstein bit on them.
