Low vs. High Output MC Cartridges


When a MC cartridge is offered both in a Low & High Output version (e.g. Dynavector DV 20X2), what advantage (if any) does one have over the other?

That is, why offer two different output versions of the same cartridge?

Lower output carts have wider frequency range. The specified one usually placed for both versions the same but it's different in reality.
This has been covered ad nausium but the simple answer is that not all phono stages can handle a low output MC but about all can use a high output one. MOST think that sound of the low output is better if your phono stage can handle it; some like HO better. Check the archives for far more than you want to know.
One more important point:
Low-outs are less sensible to RFI or EMI or turntable motor noise. The tolerance in phono preamps to EMI or RFI may also come onto the game with low-out MC, but the implementation of proper EMI or RFI tolerance on the circuit board isn't rocket science nowdays.
