Nearly all my favorite LOMC cartridges are low impedance, typically 2-3 Ohm. Low impedance cartridges must be used with "current-injection" phono stages designed for low impedance cartridges, this combination is mind blowing.
High vs low internal impedance cartridges....Is there a sonic signature for each type?
Is there a general sonic signature associated with cartridges that have either very low internal impedances, like the Air Tight PC-1 Supreme at 1 ohm vs those with high internal impedances , say around 40 ohm’s?
Of course each cartidge manufacturer tends to have a house sound, Koetsu- rich and midrange centric or LYRA-fast, detailed and neutral....., but that aside, does the internal impedance of the cartridge at either ends of the spectrum lend to a sonic signature as well?
