The High Output Glider has 2.5mV and is a Moving Coil Cartridge made for MM Input. The PH3 with its 54dB is simply to sensitive for that, MM inputs are normally in the 35-40dB range. Buying a matching cartridge (for example Glider Medium, with 0.75mV) is cheaper than buying a new Phono Preamp. Ask your Dealer for a Benz Trade and it is done. The Glider is top for the money.
PASS and ZYX
Has anyone used the PASS XP-15 with the ZYX 4D-S MC cartridge? I currently have the Glider high output and the Audio Research PH3SE. There is barely enough gain without the PH3 yet using it tends to overdrive the phono section. Hence, the desire to change both components and add some flexibility. There seems to be a lot of good buzz about both components. Thanks in advance.
