    Connecting LOMC to Preamp to Amp Phono?

    Hey gang - I've a question about a very specific connection; I've spent a good week scrolling through various sites and not found anything that addresses this specifically, including here . . . but I'm entirely confident that somebody here will know the answer. I'm upgrading my turntable system...

    Gain requirements: Ultra LOMC cartridges

    Hi all, In the past, I've used a selection of MM and MC cartridges. However, just recently, for cheap I acquired an ultra low output MC, a MC-20 by ortofon, and it needs a re-tip. The output is super low: 0.07mV. (This is the MK1 version, with the purple/blue body, circa 1980, much lower than...

    Moderate price MC cart suggestions

    I have recently refurbished a Pioneer PL50 turntable. New (correct) belt, new thrust bearing, clean and lubricate, etc. I have other tables designed for high compliance carts, but I understand this table with it's original arm, would be considered mid mass, so a MC cart might match up well-but...

    Denon DL-304 LOMC Cartridge Opinions

    I have an opportunity to acquire one of these in good shape. These are no longer manufactured. From what I have read, some think it is up there with the best while others say they are thin sounding. Appropriate gain staging and loading could be responsible for the negative remarks since its...

    New cartridge suggestions

    Hey all, I'm looking to upgrade soon, and it's been difficult getting good information on cartridge/tonearm matching. Ultimately, I'm looking for a LOMC that would work well with a Jelco TK-850S tonearm (effective mass of 13.4g) and a Tavish Design Adagio phono stage. The turntable is a heavily...

    Hi All, Just picked up a very slightly used Ortofon Quintet Red cartridge recently, and wanted to pass on some information for those who might be considering this as an entry-level moving coil cartridge. Although there is some information online, I thought sharing my impressions may have value...

    P-Mount Audio Technica LOMC AT312EP - Any Users?

    I came across one of these the other day. I mean it’s a p-mount AND a LOMC! Being the p-mount hoarder I am I had to have it. The question is, are these anything special? There isn’t much information available for this as far as reviews-at least that I could find. I believe there are a couple of...

    Ortofon SPU Synergy GM versus London Decca Super Gold

    Denon DP-52F / DL-300 with Pioneer SX-1280 SUT advice for LOMC

    Anyone can recommend inexpensive / budget SUT for above mentioned combo? DL-300 output is 0.3mv Pioneer SX-1280 Phono sensitivity is 2.5mv Sound is not that bad without SUT, but I have to crank the volume up close to 12 o'clock and I'm sure not all frequencies are coming through either. Are...
