high output MC ??

Unread post by phil66 »

I am playing a van den Hul MC TWO now with my very old P50 phono stage .... sounds great ! I play it now on the MM setting ... and I have to turn the volume up to 3 o'clock to get it (really) loud .... any ideas ?? which gain could suit better ? The output of this MC cartride is 2.25 mv .....

It sounds as though the setting is fine. High output MC is the same as MM for loading and gain.

.... well, I know how to raise the gain - or lower it ... works perfect . :mrgreen: :mrgreen: .. I just adjusted the tonarmesVTA a bit and corrected the cartridges azimuth for a 10th dedree,or less ---- who needs CD ??? music never sounded that good !! I never expected that with this cartridge....
