Phono preamp and cartridge matching

I think you can use LOW OUTPUT MC with your CA+ phonostage in MC mode, what's the problem?

Life is easier with MM cartridges, so my advice is to stay away from HIGH OUTPUT MC, makes no sense, if you think your phono stage can't handle LOMC then buy MM or MI to forget about such problems as gain/noise and expensive retipping. 

High Output MC are all inferior compared to Low Output MC, because of the moving mass (more coil winding required). 

For LOMC you can always buy a high quality SUT or Headamp to use with MM input on your phonostage.  

**SPECIFICATIONS of your phonostage

Amplification @ 1 kHz:
41 dB (MM mode)
62 dB (MC mode)

Input impedance :
47 kOhm / 270 pF / MM mode
510 Ohm / 270 pF / MC mode

Signal to noise ratio :
83 db (MM mode)
65 dB (MC mode)

chakster , I don't know if it would be a probem with a MC LO, because I never have one.  As you mentionned I would have a better music with MC LO.  Thank's

What do you think of the Hana MC Low, with my CA Basic + ?

I don't know if it would be a problem with a MC LO, because I never have one. As you mentioned I would have a better music with MC LO.  

Yes, Dynavector is a great brand, i have a few Dynavector cartridges myself, no problem with output on many phono stages. 

Few years ago i tried High Output Dynavector too, the low output are much more impressive and better in theory. 

Today i would't buy any HO MC, you'd be better with Moving Iron or Moving Magnet if you need high output. 

If you want an MC cartridge make sure to buy LOMC (low output).
0.2 mV is not a problem, but lower output can be problematic. 

Anothr idea is to bring your phono stage to a dealer's shop and ask for a demo with Dynavector if possible. 

chakster   Would I hear more background noises with MC Lo, than with Ho ?  May even be less with MM ?  But MM is less life lke music, compare to Lo MC ?
