Thanks All. The Lyra sounds like a good fit, but the Dorian costs about $1100. It must have to do with exchange rates, because I remember it was around $750 a few years ago. Maybe there is presently better value in the Japanese AT for the same reason. (US Dollar) I have German speakers and had a Scottish tonearm that I bought (new) at bargain prices 5-10 years ago when the US dollar was stronger.
Also my phono pre needs higher output. I'm still wondering in general about MM vs MC and especially low or medium output cartridges. Are the advantages worth looking at a MC phono stage. There is a current thread on MM vs MC with 1000 posts but I haven't gotten much out of it yet.
Thanks again!
