What are the important values to watch for in a stage? I am trying to make an intelligent decision on purchasing a cartridge for my system and I sure could use a brief explanation to jump start my search.
Here are the specs on the Hageman Cornet2 Stage:
Specifications
Gain +44dB
Input Impedance 47k ohm
Output Impedance 1k ohm
RIAA Response +/-1dB from 25Hz to 25kHz
Bandwidth 15Hz to 30kHz
Distortion 0.02% @1kHz
SNR 72dB ref 5mV A-weighted
Overload 250mV @1kHz
Phase Normal
Size 7.25" x 11.65" (PCB)
Weight 7 lbs
Power 35W
Input Voltage 100V, 110V, 120V, 200V, 220V, 240V
Tubes 12AX7 (ECC83) x 2, 12AU7 (ECC82) x 1, 5Y3 x 1
Is this enough to tell if I should be looking for a MC or MM cart and anything else that might be especially noteworthy?
