RE: High compliance ceramic cartridges

Hi Eli,

My plan is to use a 6J7 with a DC filament, and a 1-2M grid reaistor. I will use my turntable's existing SME tonearm wiring, I like your idea of close coupling but don't want to mess with what already exists. Plus I have EV T35 tweeters, so thinking about what exists above 17kHz makes little sense.

What model of cartridge do you have ? It sound exactly like what I am after.

What got my on this as I said in my post to coffee Phil, was a desire to use a pentode tube as the first Stage without getting overwhelmed by tube hiss, I don't plan on making a one tube record player out of my thorens so 2V is not required, but 200mv pushes hiss way into the background rather than front and centre as it would be if I used the same tube for a mag cartridge

Best regards

Max
