Why a low output M.C. rather than a high output?


Since many cartridge manufacturers make both High and Low output models why would someone prefer the low output which very well could require a step up transformer along with another set of cables? Wouldn't resolution be less this way with the extra step?

The high output MC's I've seen have an output of around 1.6mV.Alot of phono pre's like to see at least 2.5mV which puts the high output MC's in a less than prefered range.You will need a preamp thats up to the task of providing enough gain.
