Grado Platinum: which is better high or lo output?



I am getting a Rega 2000 P3 and want to get
a Grado Platinun Cartridge. I know about the
hum but I want the lush sound so I'll deal with
it.

Which sounds better, the high output or low output
version? My Classe preamp has both MM and MC settings
so I can go either way.

Thanks

My response is no way! Grado's been getting away with murder. I have a Grado cartride and I just cleaned the volume control of my low output MC preamp for the first time and the hum became even more noticeable. Shame on those people.

I've been told by the most experienced salesman in Needledoctor to go for the Ortofon Kontrapunkt A. Kenny told me it's unbelievably fast, silent and great for any type of music unlike the rest of the low output MCs.

Give them a call...

What does type of music has to do with cartridge output?
