Classe DR-5 Pre-Amp Users


Good morning all,

I am using my Classe with a Threshold S/300 power amp which is an awesome combination to my ears. I am now looking to purchase a good MC cartridge. None of the pre-amps resisters were changed in the MC circuit. It remains at the standard setting of 22dB. I want to know what cartridges you have found that work with this setting and pre-amp? Thank you so much.

Actually, these resistors are soldered in place and I am very hesitant to tackle this job. I have not held a soldering gun in many years and this appears to be a very critical situation that can be easily messed up. What I was thinking is that a high output (2mv or higher) cartridge would do very nicely.

I listen mostly to classical and jazz music. I love single instrument as well as small and large scale choral and orchestral classical works. I also love small jazz groups and big band orchestras. I love the human voice so spend lots of time listening to choral groups.

I look for an expansive sound that permits me to listen into the sound stage. I love to be able to hear each voice or instrument individually. I look for and love a huge romatic and honest sound stage that presents mostly what I hear when I go to hear live music. Live music is the Absolute Sound for me. Thank you so much.
