Is this why my analog rig isn't so hot?

Hi All,

My system is quite decent, but...

Could it be the voltage output of my Benz Glider is too high?

My photo stage - a 47 Lab PhonoCube - could handle low outputs down to 0.12 mV. Since my Glider has a medium output (0.83 mV) - is this why I'm not that happy with my system? I seem to want to hear more, specially the top.

If I got the same Glider but with a lower output, would it make a difference? Or should I get a better cartridge? And which one?

My system:

Basis 2000 table
RS-A1 Lab arm
Benz Glider (0.83 mV)
47 Lab PhonoCube phono stage
47 Lab Chooser passive preamp
47 Lab Gaincard amp
Konus Audio Essence speakers

Thanks!
George

Raul- I was on a domestic flight a couple of years back and the pilot spoke in broken English- it was pretty obvious that he was from Pakistan. Well, the passenger in the seat next to me continued to loudly ridicule the pilot's English skills and heritage for most of the flight. I suppose he was trying to impress his young son, who was traveling with him. That passenger only proved himself to be a dunce, too.

Regards
Jim

Raul- Here's the level of character we're dealing with- From two of Psych's posts on the "Analog Newbie" thread: 1) (1/10/02) "I have finally learned how to stirr (sic) controversy in this site and not get heat..." and 2) (1/11/02) "I just have had the reputation since junior high of being able to stirr (sic) things up, not get involved and watch".

How remarkably unimpressive.
