Is there a reason why you can't change the gain resistors that are installed in the preamp now ? The purpose of adjustable gain is so that you can use virtually any cartridge of your choice, versus being restricted to specific cartridges that will work best at one gain setting. If you're missing replacement resistors, you can always buy some Roederstein or Vishay in the values recommended in the owner's manual from DigiKey or Mouser.
Classe DR-5 Pre-Amp Users
Good morning all,
I am using my Classe with a Threshold S/300 power amp which is an awesome combination to my ears. I am now looking to purchase a good MC cartridge. None of the pre-amps resisters were changed in the MC circuit. It remains at the standard setting of 22dB. I want to know what cartridges you have found that work with this setting and pre-amp? Thank you so much.
