Grado Platinum: which is better high or lo output?



I am getting a Rega 2000 P3 and want to get
a Grado Platinun Cartridge. I know about the
hum but I want the lush sound so I'll deal with
it.

Which sounds better, the high output or low output
version? My Classe preamp has both MM and MC settings
so I can go either way.

Thanks
Tom

Frank-

I forgot to mention my system and listening tastes.
Classe CA100, CP45, Aerius i, and I listen to music
like the rolling stones, pink floyd, and fleetwood mac.
Do you think the low output is the way to go with
this kind of music? If so...

What is the spec for the current low output Platinum?
The Grado website only lists 5mv for the Platinum.
You said the 1.5mv are discontued. So is there a newer
version of the low output platinum or do I need to
hunt for a discontinued 1.5mv..??

Thanks
Tom
