I'm planning on adding the Pass X15 phono preamp which has suitable gain for a low output MC cart. Matching a cart with a turntable/arm and a phono pre can be very confusing with all the different dynamics involved. Thanks for all the responses. I'm leaning towards the Sumiko LO Blackbird...but actually finding out their not as available as the HO Blackbirds. Any idea where their available? Although I'm still open to ideas.
Looking for a new cartridge- Dynavector Karat 17D3 or Sumiko Blackbird
I just bought a new VPI Prime. I’m looking to make a splash with a new cartridge. I want a MC-Low output cart.
I listen to rock, blues, and some jazz. My budget would be under 1500.00 Would the above carts be a good choice? If not what would?
Thanks in advance.
