So what’s the question? Is the cartridge installed and plugged into the phono amp MC input? If so, try adjusting the loading to 50 or 100 ohms, or to whatever sounds best to you.
New MC Cartridge from Wayne's Audio
Hello all,
I really hate to sound like I know nothing about audio,
but when It comes the specifications for my new MC
"Master Signature" cartridge that I purchased from Wayne's
Audio I am lost. I want to be sure to get the best out of this
Wonderful cartridge and I could use some help.
I am using an Arcam SA30 integrated amplifier,
Modwright PH 9.0 phono stage and Technics SL-1100A
turntable.
These are the specifications for the cartridge, any setup
suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
