The Ortofon MC 5000 is about .140 mv or about half the output of the Denon. Not sure whether there's anything with a lower output, but I wouldn't be surprised if there is.
The lowest I had was the original Transfiguration cartridge, which was somewhere south of .15mv or something like that (did I get the decimal in the right place?). That was a notoriously low-output cartridge. Don't know among current offerings.
The Audio Note IoLtd has an output voltage of 0.04 mV, weighs in at whopping 19g. and comes with it's OWN power supply. Anyone have experience with this cartirdge?
The lowest I've seen is the old Ortofon SL-15E, which has been quoted as 0.067 mV (1Khz 50 mm/sec) and the lowest I've owned is an old Micro Seiki LC-80W (0.082 mV)
