MC transformers in E.A.R. 834 are nothing to write home about, but Kontrapunkt B is good enough cartridge to treat well. I would go for separate transformers in addition to MM-only 834. Ortofon should be OK on RB900, though it works better with heavier arms. You can easily add some weith to RB though.
Ear 834 P, ortofon kontrapunk A, Rega P9
Does anabody have a clue about this match? Listening to jazz, vocal, classic, I'm planning to buy the Ear 834P Mc and I'm offered a Kontrapunk A. I have an Audiomat integrated and Equation 7 with a Rega P9 and RB 900. Would the Kontrapunk B or Dynavector 17 mk II Karat be a better choice?
Thanks for your help
