Until about a year ago, I used a Black Cube SE as my phono preamp, and tried both MM and MC cartridges with it. Based on my personal experience, I think the Black Cube SE is better suited to higher-powered MM cartridges (at least 1.5 mV output) than to MC cartridges.
Lehmann Black Cube Se with the VPI Scoutmaster
I'm a novice to turntables which probably explains why I'm wondering whether I should choose between a high output or low output cartridge to go with my Lehmann Black Cube SE solid state phono preamp and VPI Scoutmaster turntable. You can use any type of cartridge with the Black Cube SE because there are switch adjustable settings located underneath the Black Cube. But would a high output or a low output cartridge be more suitable with the Lehmann, or does it make a difference? And would a moving coil cartridge or moving magnet cartridge be more suitable? Thanks
