cartridge for rega 25,Sonic Frontiers SFP-1


Looking for cartridge suggestions for a Rega planar 25 to be used with a Sonic Frontiers SFP-1. Music will be jazz, folk rock, and some classic rock. Like to keep it under $700.

The math is simple: You need to match the input sencitivity of your preamp and approximately calculated output from your phono. The voltage gain of 57dB has a factor of >700 so .3mV in the input will give you >210mV in the output which should be good enough for any preamp except passive. .8mV version will be good enough to couple with passive preamp. Staying with lower version gives you an advantage of small signal path and great detail and transparency. Higher outs are just suitable with more phonos but compromise in everything else.
Thank you Marakanetz. Any other opinions? Juki thinks I should get the high output. It is also what he has in stock. I should mention I am using a Sonic Frontiers Line2SE preamp.
get a grado master.retail for $800 but Im sure someone will let one go for $700....get the 4.5mv and dont look back! dont worry about hum unless some very low level hum at the end of the LP after the last songs over bothers you.the VTA with the grado 'woodies' is right on with the rega tables too.contact my dealer,Mario.... info@tfta.com or call him at 914.421.0069 TOYS FROM THE ATTIC....tell him dave said to give ya one for 7 bills.:~)
Hi JSBail:

Save up a couple of hundred more and go for a Lydian Beta, but for God's sake, buy it here in America! By the time you pay for shipping and import duties it'll be pretty close to what a dealer might be willing to sell you one for anyway. If you can't stretch the extra, I'd suggest going for the Master.

Best,
Mario
