My system is too loud
Most MM cartrides need only around 40-42db of phono preamp gain. You need to add in the line stage gain of course, which is listed as 12db for your dehavilland. That gives you a total of 62db. That's quite a bit. I think your 50db setting on the K...

Difficulty determining cartridge specs for preamp
The specs I found for the Samba indicate an output of .38mv, so I would recommend up around 60db or so, but as Viridian said above, it also depends on the gain of your preamp added in. The load impedance is stated at 10 ohms and usually moving coi...

Classic Records 45RPM BoxSet Boxes?

Audible Illusions 3A or Modwright SWL9.0Signature?
I owned an Audible Illusions 3A many years ago and many, many preamps ago. I currently own the Modwright SWL9.0SE Signature. It's one of the best preamps I've ever owned or heard. I have never missed the AI 3A, not even once...if that helps you any?
