Bob's Devices responded to my email. He only has 1 SUT available for under 500.00 and it only offers 10db of gain. It won't be enough for my setup. I would have to run the volume control on the preamp way up near 3 o clock.
Cartridge Recommendations
I have a VPI Scout with a ZU/Denon DL103 mc cartridge. I am getting a new preamp that doesn't have provisions for a low output mc cartridge. I want to replace the cartridge with either a high output mc cartridge or a moving iron/magnet cartridge for less than 500.00 retail (new). I like the sound of my present cartridge as it plays all my old records well and rock sounds great with it.
Keeping all this in mind, I am open to suggestions to a cartridge that will work well with the JMW9 arm.
Thanks

The Bob's Devices SUT is a 1:10 stepup. That will stepup your Zu/Denon 103 from .3mv to 3mv. It is listed with 20db of gain, not 10. That should be more than enough. Link is below: http://www.bobsdevices.com/15095.htm I would look for a used Silvercore "1 to 10" SUT. They retail for around $650, so a used one should be in your price range. IMHO, the (2) carts you list above are not as good as what you have. |
