The AC-2 has an output of only 0.18mv at 5 cm/s. Pretty low.

But thanks for confirming the jumper settings.

The cartridge has a minimium resistance loading of 50 ohms. Years ago I used an SA-2 with this cartridge and 54-57 ohms seemed optimal to me .... was recommended by the west coast dealer I bought the SA-2 from.

It will be awhile til I get this set up. Have to loaate quality resistors, and then pull the preamp from a very difficult to service setup.
