You need a linear amp with added gain - a head amp. The Marcof PPA-1 will work! Battery-powered! I have one for use with low-output mc cartridges. Some Grado cartridges have 1 millivolt or less output.
Increasing a Low output MM
Hi I have a low output MM cartridge. I am looking at a low gain phono stage; a gift.
Is there anyway to increase the output of a low output MM cartridge?
Previous posts have suggested that a SUT will not work due to impedance changes produced by the SUT.
Any other options, other a new cartridge?
Thanks
