anyone used the Sutherland Phd high gain card?


Don't have a local Sutherland dealer and haven't read about anyone using its' high gain card. Have auditioned Artemis PL-1 which I really like but I hate to buy without comparing it to something else first. Is it worth my effort to go through the mail order and try out the Sutherland or this is phono preamp more suited to higher output cartridges?

Thanks Mark,

The Titan has just more than twice the output of the Airy at .5mv which means your friend Tom probably doesn't require the card too. Still it's always encouraging to hear a customer endorsement of something you're looking at buting.

I like the idea about the card for gain but didn't realize there was one for loading too. Maybe I'll get in touch with Acoustic Sounds and see if they have extra ones. Getting the load right is always trial and error with me but some have suggested that 10K might be a better load for the cartridge.
