Minimum mV cartridge output for the phono section of my Ultra preamp?
« on: 12 Mar 2009, 02:38 pm »
I'm getting a new turntable and am thinking about a high output moving coil. Is there a minimum recommended spec for the phono section? Right now with my moving magnet Linn Adikt, I never go above 10 o'clock on the volume control...

Thanks,

Paul,

I've run a Sumiko Blue Point Special HOMC with my EC with no problem. That cartridge puts out 2.5mv. I would say that dropping below 2.0mv might be pushing it a bit, also may bring the noise floor up.

Wayne's advise is correct.
