Cartridge mV questions

Larry, thanks I totally get that, makes sense.

Mapman, that's interesting, my Clearaudio Unify 9 has an arm mass of 9.
I am not sure what it means, does someone know if 9 is a high or low mass
and what mV cartridge would suit it best????

thanks

Hi Raul. I am sorry, unfortunately I don't understand what your describing,
is there any way you or someone else can explain in layman's terms? I am looking at buying a cartridge and it would great help, if I understand how to match the cartridge to the arm.

I guess that would help, my phono stage is an ARC PH3SE,
my TT is a Musical Life Jazz, and the tonearm is the
clearaudio unify 9, my phonostage has a gain of 54 dB, together with my ARC ref 1 preamp it has a total of 66 dB of gain.
If I have left something out let me know.....

Thanks
