Sometimes low output is not the best way to go because of increased noise and distortion. I would go for the middle one, if not the high output version. In this particular case of variable gain routing the middle or high output make more sense. Maybe just get a Shure Type V or a Goldring. Just my .02.
Three output versions of Benz ACE cartridge...
Hello,
I am purchasing a new analog setup (Basis 1400 w/RB300 arm), and have selected the Benz ACE as the cartridge. The ACE is available in three output versions: 0.4mV, 0.8mV, and 2.5mV.
The phono preamplifier will be the MS Phonomena, which is equipped to handle any one of these cartridges fine.
My question is, which output level version should sound better? Or should they all sound the same, and maybe the three versions are offered to accomodate a variety of phono stages? They are all the same price.
