I have an Ultimate II and have no problems using low output (0.2 - 0.3mv) cartridges. But....I use an Audio Note step up in front of the CAT.
Minimum Cartridge output for CAT Ultimate Preamp
I have a CAT Ultimate Mk II preamp and am shopping for an Analog front end. i've heard the CAT doesn't like low output MC cartridges. I have the CAT JL2 amp and Dunalvy 4a speakers. I listen to all types of music but mostly Rock, Jazz and Blues.
For those that run analog rigs with this preamp, what would be your recommended minimum cartridge output voltage? Is something like 0.5mv too low?
