The gain on my George Wright WPP 200 phono stage goes to 60ohm, a LO might work without a step up transformer. Depends on how lo. I think my PA can handle a output of .5 and above.

BR3098, The Talisman Alchemist B MC is no where to be found on the internet to buy. I will be trying a Dynavector DV20 high output (2.5) MC on my Anna arm and will be checking out the Benz. The Cartridge that came with my Space Ace arm sounds good...

I'm putting the 20X on the 12 inch Anna Arm. I like the MM cartridge that came with the Space Ace on the 9 inch arm.

Most high compliance cartridges seem to be the heavy ones. Would you consider the Dynavector DV-20X-H high output mc cartridge a good match? It weighs in at 9.1 grams but has a compliance of 12 x 10-6 cm/dyn .

ZU OMEN speakers 12ohms??
"as long as the amp has the finesse to not make a fool of itself" Is it possible for a amp to make a fool out of it's self? I will admit mt Rogue's do have personality.

Herbie's vs. Hal-O's, Tube Dampers whats good?
How are the new 6H30's working out? I was told the 1979 ones are the best and I can get a pair for $275. Do you know what year yours are?

Oops, almost forgot, has anyone tried those "Orange dampers"?do they melt on the tubes? 
Herbie's vs. Hal-O's, Tube Dampers whats good?
I'm wondering how would I change the tone with placement of the tube dampers on the tube. I'm trying to get more warmth. I have a new Rogue Athena pre and its just a little bright due to the 6h30 super tubes. I have the old plastic Herbie's and th...
