CAT Ultimate

What sort of cartridges is anyone running the Ultimate with. Lyra Helikon? Enough output in the cartridge for the phono stage.

But, remember this is only part of the story. The input impedence of your power amp and how that mates with the CAT can affect the issue. With my 335 I have no problem but a different power amp may increase your need for cartridge output.
