You might consider upgrading your cartridge to a higher output Benz-Micro model. I have been using the Benz-Micro H2O straight into a conrad-johnson premier 15 phone stage - very nice.
Step up device or new cartridge?
I have a Oracle Delphi MK II with an early Graham arm. My cartridge is a Monster Alpha Genesis 1000 with low hours.
I recently bought a BAT VK 30 SE with the $ 500 phono stage.
The trouble is the phono section does not have quite enough
gain for the cartridge.
Should I get a step up device or get a higher output cartridge such as a Benz Micro Glider? Budget does not allow both! Any help would be greatly appreciated.
