FWIW, HO mc carts are "generally" a poor compromise. To get the higher output, you need more windings on the coil, whoch makes it less responsive. You might want to check out one of the MM carts that are discussed on the MM vs MC thread that Raul started. You might even ask him to recommend a cart that matches well w your arm/tt.
Gain Question
I may not understand what is going on with my vinyl setup.
The chain goes as follows -
Ortofon Per Windfeld Cart .3 mv output
Herron VTPH-2 phono stage 66 db of gain
Cary SLP05 preamp 10 db of gain.
Sound is great but in order to be at a moderate listening volume, the volume nob on the Cary pre must be almost maxxed out. How can I fix this?
