CAT Ultimate


What sort of cartridges is anyone running the Ultimate with. Lyra Helikon? Enough output in the cartridge for the phono stage.

I have a Koetsu Rosewood Signature , .65mv and am using a CAT Preamp. The phono stage does NOT have enough gain. From what I understand and have been told you need either a step up transformer or a cartridge with approx. with at least 1.0mv output with .8mv as a minimum.

I don't want to use a step up so I will probably sell my Koetsu??. Not sure what I'm going to use to replace it. Am looking forward to others posts re: this matter.
