    my head amp has recently been upgraded,its miles better than the standard ha-500. i bought it to run a denon 103sa which it kinda was designed for. since then i now use an audio technica art-7 cartridge and the ha-500 also works well with it too.

    as regards to what mc i would recommend? well thats a tough question to answer,depends on your budget,your arm for matching etc plus i can only really talk about what ive owned which isnt a great deal of mc experience.
    hope that helps.

    if you arm will cope with it,a denon 103r would be a great choice for dipping you toe in,but without knowing the effective mass of the pa-1000 its hard to say. if its 16 grams or over it will be fine

    The Pioneer PLC-590 is already integrated in the rest of the system. The arm is adjusted. First records played

    What would be your shell recommendation for PA-1000?

    the original one for the arm would be a good starting point, https://www.ebay.com/p/Pioneer-Pa-10...ell/1740673757

    I have the carbon fiber shell PP-312. I still have to decide about the cartridge. Most probably I will start first with a MM one.
    At the moment I’m testing the aluminum one with MM Grado cartridge taken from a friend of mine.
