Improper cartridge loading.

The Benz Glider was sounding excellent with my now departed Audio Research PH3 phono stage. This with the standard 47 k ohm loading (no extra loading resistors added). Bass was full and musical.

It was after I tried hooking it up to my Marantz 7 directly, that I experienced the thinness of sound.

In your experience, what brands of MC cartridges do you recommend for the K&K Step-Up kit?

I was thinking of sticking with the Benz line because of their generous trade-up policy.

However, I might consider other alternatives. The cartridge must be medium mass arm compatible. My turntable is a VPI Scout with JMW-9 arm.

Thanks again!
