Check the input sensitivity on the Scott vs the output of the Shure, but typically, MM carts have a high enough output to drive any phono stage. Its usually just the low output MC carts where there is a potential problem.
Shure V15VMXR compatible with Scott 299B?
Will the phono stage in the Scott 299B (unmoded) be strong enough to push a good image with this MM cartridge? I've heard that low output MC cartridges and MM cartridges need a solid phono stage.
I'm looking at a Scott for a tube-only system. Can I find a good vintage McIntosh tube integrated amp in the same price neighborhood ($500), and would I be better off with the McIntosh anyway? I've heard the Scott 299B, much like the Shure V15, outperforms its counterparts at 3 times the price.
