Get a Bellari MT502 SUT for the Denon 103. That’s what I use. There are two for sale right now on eBay. $299 and $349. I recommend this combination over a HOMC or MM cartridge.
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!
