How to match a Cartridge with the right phono preamp?
Hi there!
I have been trying to get some information about how to select the right phono preamp for a certain MC cartridge. I'm having a hard time trying to reference all the cartridge specs with the right phono preamp, I even try to watch a couple videos on how to match them but honestly I can't fully understand it lol. It's there an easy way to do it? What exactly I need to look for? I have an Ortofon Bronze with a Puffin preamp. I'm putting together a second vinyl record stereo system and I really want to give it a shot to MC cartridge!
Thank you I'm advance!

I decided, future cartridge(s) unknown, to go for some flexibility. Make sure it has PASS for MM to skip the internal transformer and go straight to your MM Phono Input. I chose a vintage Fidelity Research FRT-4 SUT, which has PASS and 4 selectable gain/impedance choices. Also the additional advantage of 3 tonearm inputs, front selectable, you don’t need to change any cables if you have 2 or 3 arms. This one looks in very good shape and someone changed the RCA Jacks to better quality than factory ones
the way things have been going, that’s a good price. |
Another with flexibility, and affordable
