I will soon be in possession of a ARC SP-16 with a build-in phono stage (min 1 mV), and I have just discover that my current cartridge is a low level MC (0.2mV) that SP-16 would most likely not be able to drive. Should I go with a new high-level MC or a step-up transformer?
IMO you are going about this backwards.The arm/cartridge combo is the most important aspect of an analog setup.Find the cartridge (that you can afford) that works best with your arm and proceed acordingly.
