What gives (besides the question about sufficient gain) is that there are other factors that affect phono stage quality/cost besides s:n ration spec.
help with s/n ratios of preamps and Moving Coil
Guys - i hope someone can clarify this for me. Why is it that most preamps/phono stages are rated at a lower S/N ratio for Moving Coil carts vs their Moving Magnet counterparts. I just ordered a clearaudio pre-amp for a Benz low output cartridge, however i realised that s/n ratio says > 68 db.. Is that enough, dont i want something >80 for MC carts.. i cant find any advice on this on the www
thanks!
thanks!
