I have a ortofon 2 m bronze on it right now and only need the gain nobs half way turned up. So the preamp should have more then enough gain for 2.8mv, plus I have it hooked to a cary cad120s power amp which is an awesome match. I have always owned moving Magnet but never a moving coil. From what my rega dealer told me, In that case I should try the dynavector 20x2. And go for the high output version then I don't need to put more money into a new transformer. The only thing about the 20x2H is its exactly very much the same as the low output version. Though theres a little more zip on the higher top end. But that should be buffered out because of the tubes. And hearing a lot of success with rega and dynavector in the past.
Out of these two cartridges which would you choose?
Hi everyone i officially had my new mega rp8 for a week now and am amazed by the performance with it. I am looking to upgrade the cartridge now but can decide by these two after naming down my search. I have my sets set on either a dynavector 20x2 High output version or a new ortofon 2m Black. The preamp Im running it through would be a cary slp-98p Class A all Tube phono preamp with mm only. I am not considering a low output mc. Because I tried out a new pair of speakers for fun an shocked by how bloody good they sound with my system. But are worth 10K lol and are the last pair I will ever need for life!
