i have used my rhea with super low and medium low output cart. my current is a shelter 7000 the super lows ie dynavector karat etc. are a little noisy but the sound is great. You only really hear the super low noise between tracks. does not benz make the ebony in a medium low? Love the rhea- and I love the shelter its my fave so far through my cartridge journey!
rhea better with high or low output MC?
Hi all,
I've heard that the Rhea is a beautiful sounding phono stage with the largest reservation relating to noise. I'm wondering whether the noise is accentuated due to gain and whether there is any improvement when used with a high output MC as opposed to a low output one. I'm considering a rhea / benz ebony H or Benz ebony L (or alternate cartridge) on a rega p9 combo with a tube pre.
Any suggestions would be welcome.
Thanks
