As a rule of thumb, always go with the lower output as long as your phono will play well with it. Your Phono has 60 db of gain I believe, so you should be fine. The Lyra SL is .24mv output and when I had the JC3 in house it played everthing I threw at it between .2mv to .6mv. Hope this helps. Enjoy the music.
Lyra Kleos or Kleos SL?
I'm considering said cartridge upgrade but would like to hear opinions on the two versions offered.
My TT is an SME 20/2 with a SME IV mk iv tonearm.
Phono preamp is a Parasound JC-3+.
Wondering if the SL version (which is lower output than the regular version) would play well with the JC-3+, or if I might need to add a SUT to the chain.
Also, my musical tastes lean toward classic rock, blues, folk, alt-country, with some jazz thrown in for good measure. Not sure if this is a major factor in the decision or not, but thought I'd let you know.
Please let me know your thoughts if you've had experience with these two carts.
Thanks,
Peter
