EAR 834P Deluxe with Dynavector 20 HX H output Cart.


I am using the High output MC Cart. and have to use in MM setting on the EAR. Someone at a shop said if I use a Dynavector 20X low output that I would have to turn my volume on my pre-amp too high. It seems low would be the right choice being in MC mode I get distortion with my High Output Cart now? Can anyone help with this situation?

 

Thanks very much!

I wanted to try the Dyna.20x 2 Low MC Cart would I get better results in MC input on EAR or should I get the same Dyna. in High and continue using MM setting on EAR?

Thanks for the help.

High output MC cartridges should be used with the MM setting on the EAR or any other phono preamp!

I have the 834p and the Dynavector 20x2 L (low output).  Ended up selling a $4k solid state phono pre during covid time and never looked back.  

I did enough research to understand that for best results I needed an external SUT and keep the 834p in MM mode all the time.  

I bought the Ned Clayton Moving Coil Phono Step Up Transformer with Cinemag 1254 4 Ratios 1:10 - 1:40 MC SUT on ebay.  Works great.  The Cinemag transformers  well reviewed and this SUT was about 1/3 of the price of (I forgot the name) the other one I was looking at.  

Hi, thanks for all the responses I talked with Mitch Singerman who is authorized service repair for EAR and said I might be better off to continue using HO Cart. in MM mode to bypass using the coils and have less circuits to go through and more direct sound.
