Since the mid 80s, I've found mid output moving coils to fill a "Goldilocks" spot enabling the use of a high gain two stage preamp. I replaced it twenty years ago with a VPI based Dynavector DV20 with same 1.0 mV output. Now use a different preamp with similar 72 db overall gain.

Several years ago, I had the Shinon retipped by Soundsmith for use with an Ariston RD11s turntable with SME3009 I purchased as a teen for the garage system. Later gave the turntable to our preacher and kept the Shinon. I put a Shure M97 on the SME for his use.
