How much gain does you phono stage have? If you were happy with it before the suspension problem, why not send it to Andy Kim at the Needle Clinic he does excellent work with a fast turnaround. Recently had my cartridge repaired and it only took a couple of weeks for him to complete the repairs and he is very reasonable. Best of Luck
Zyx Universe. O.24 mv vs .48 mv with low eff spkrs
I have a dilema
My Zyx Universe .24mv cartridge appears to be loosing its suspension characteristics. I believe an arm bearing not moving freely put too much wear on it.
I have 84 db speakers and have to crank at pretty high levels to get my volume up far enough to resolve things.
I know a .24 mv is going to have slightly more resolution and speed but woud I be better going with the .48 and having less stress on the amplification and higher output volumes?
