| Dynavector DV20X2H or DV20X2L Why do you think that to drive LOMC cartridge you need $6k phono preamp? Some great phono preamps designed for 0.2mV MC cost under $1500. You can also use $500-700 Step-Up Transformer with your MM phono stage if the signal from MC cartridge is too... | |
| Highest detail cartridges Talking about the "Highest detail cartridges" everyone should look at the specs first (frequency response), for example Stanton SC-100 WOS can do as wide as 10Hz - 50kHz, Audio-Technica AT-ML180 can do 5Hz - 42kHz, Technics claimed 5Hz - 100kHz fo... | |

| Ugraditus is calling....again. Phono stage? @rsf507 well, depends where you live, in my area the price difference is huge and shipping from USA is not an option (expensive).

| Highest detail cartridges @nandric Lucky me I do recognise all other cartsyou mentioned otherwise I would belong to the ’’category’’of ’’ignorant’’. Will you be so kind to ’’explain’’ this choice ? You know, i managed to find working Victor MC-1 and i must say this is a ... | |

| Grado Sonata Cartridge vs. Rega Ania @orpheus10 Most people on this forum don't seem to like Grado, and that has to be because of their choice in music, and what they expect a cartridge to deliver. I like sertain models of Grado, for example Signature models made by Joseph Grado h... | |
| Grado Sonata Cartridge vs. Rega Ania Can anyone suggest an alternate cartridge to the Sonata that is more detailed, yet good for classical? It can be a MC with transformer or any other type of cartridge in the $600-$800 range. In this price range you can look for brand new Garrott... | |
