why not a 47 labs cartridge?
Cartridge options for current gain phonostages (47 Labs)
Hi,
I have a 47 Labs phonocube which I have not been using because I do not have a "matching" cartridge. It is a current gain phonostage. Its input impedance is 0 ohms and it amplifies current rather than voltage. That basically means a low impedance cartridge is the first thing it needs. I had the ART-9 which is a 12 ohm cartridge and it was not a great pairing with phonocube. I am now in the market for a new cartridge and would like to buy a low impedance high current cartridge. The Transfiguration Proteus is one of them but it is expensive.
Looking for suggestions on other options. Primarily the higher is the voltage/impedance value the better.
Budget is around $2k.
