Newbie Question: High Output v. Low Output


I am just learning about analog equipment (currently have a badly cared for Music Hall MMF 2.1, and just bought a friend's used Phonomena phono stage). I am thinking about upgrading my table and cartrige, and notice that cartrige's specificy high v. low output. Can someone direct me to a discussion of strengths and weaknesses associated with differing outputs of MC cartiges (and, actually, MC v. MM cartiges as well).

Thanks very much.

Thanks very much. I am looking at the scout/scoutmaster budget levels, though have not settled on any particular brand or table. Maybe around $2K, but would be surprised to end up spending a bit more then that on the table and tonearm if I thought it could well be what I have for years to come. Most of my lps are popular music, rock/funk/soul, but I am growing more interested in classical, and expect that to be a bigger part of the collection going forward. I am very appreciative of all advice.
