I second the K&K audio stepup for a low output MC cart, but the Benz in not a bad choice especially if the dealer will do the setup for you.
Is a HO MC cartridge a good choice for me?
I am in the midst of purchasing a Rega P5 w/PSU from a local dealer who has been generous of his time in letting me listen, and equally generous with his advice - and discounts.
I have heard the TT with the Rega Exact 2 and the Benz Micro Ace (H)..... the dealer is really pushing the Benz. I'm concerned since I've never had a MC before - or even a high end TT and I really want a set it and forget it front end. I'm concerned about having to demagnetize periodically - how often? The dealer has told me he will lend the demagnetizer at no charge, but it all seems a bit "tweaky" to me.
Can anyone advise? BTW my Receiver's phono stage has a 2.5 mv sensitivity so the HO is the only MC choice.
Any thoughts would be most welcome. Thank you for helping out an aged "newbie"......
