Seems to me if a .3 or .5mv is low and my Grado's 4.8 is high, isn't a 2.5 mc a 'medium output'? I have the 1.5mv Sonata that seems to do well with 50db of gain and I consider that the low side of 'medium'. I've seen some MM cartridges with over 5mv and some even over 6. How can those 2.5mv 'high output' MC's really show their stuff through a standard MM gain stage? I don't like turning the volume way up to a decent listening even though I have a QA(quiet-ass) preamp. My slight tube amp buzz is a different story. My Oracle also has a coveted 'QA' motor :-)

- I should add that I have a "MM only" Creek with only 37db gain, and it has plenty of gain for the Ace nt - JoshT 08:17:38 05/04/07 (0)
