Zyx Universe. O.24 mv vs .48 mv with low eff spkrs

I have a dilema

My Zyx Universe .24mv cartridge appears to be loosing its suspension characteristics. I believe an arm bearing not moving freely put too much wear on it.

I have 84 db speakers and have to crank at pretty high levels to get my volume up far enough to resolve things.

I know a .24 mv is going to have slightly more resolution and speed but woud I be better going with the .48 and having less stress on the amplification and higher output volumes?

Doug - I lucked into the Daedalus used, made all my other interem purchases a little easier to take.

That HT setup sounds quite dominant and the 803s must sound great with the doshi / universe ii combo

I am so enjoying the pairing

The cloth belt makes the table movement practically zero.

With everything in harmony my deck is perfect
I dont have any volume issues from the .24mz and the detail and prat is there in spades
