The output of that cartridge is a high 6.8 to 7.2 mv. Try all three settings on the Sherwood and see which sounds best!
Correct Input Sensitivity Setting for Cartridge
Greetings. I bought a 1978 vintage Sherwood receiver (as a second system) and am hooking it up to my Rega Planar 3 fitted with an Elys 2 MM cartridge. The cartridge has an input sensitivity of 4-6 mV, and the Sherwood phono hookup has a switch that moves to three positions, Low, Medium, and High. I set it to medium. Is that correct? Some people say this is not a big deal. The high sounds reasonable also but want to do it correctly. The Sherwood sounds amazing. Thanks in advance for your advice.
