High output MC cartridges for phono with 40dB gain


Hi,

I recently replaced my Lehmann Audio Decade phono preamp with Dynaco PAS-4 preamp. The phono gain on Dynaco PAS-4 is only 40 dB, so I am now not able to use my Denon DL-103. I am currently using Empire EDR9 moving iron cartridge, but am curious to also try high output moving coil carts.

Any recommendations on the HOMC carts that could match/surpass the sound quality of Empire EDR9? Or, for that matter, moving magnet carts that could match/surpass Empire EDR9?

Lastly, would it make sense to try SUT for Denon DL-103, or is it too much hassle?

Thanks!
