I would check the specs on your phono pre.If your using the stock McIntosh you will most likely only be able to use MM or high output MC. 4.0 mv or better ,if I recall correctly.So if needed you can always purchase a external phono preamp so you can use a wider range of cartridges.Also, matching the arm with the cartridge compliance is paramount.
Best Cartridge for my system, MC or MM ??
Hi, this is my first post.
My set up is:
Mcintosh Mc275
Mcintosh C220
Totem Hawk speakers
Marantz TT15S1 table.
I had a Clear Audio Virtuoso and am considering switching to a Dynavector 10x5.
I was pleased with the sound but was told the Dynavector would be worlds apart.
After seeing mixed reviews on both cartridges, what is your opinion on what would be best suited for my setup?
I listen to all rock, some jazz, some psych, etc..
