What is the best match MC for a RB300 arm on a Rega3 turntable? Assuming a budget of up to $500. I've come across a stereophile Mag which outlined a tricky match for MC's to be used with RB300. Am i better of then getting stucked to Moving Magnet?
MCs are not tricky at all matching to the RB300. For a cart in the $500 range I would recommend the Benz Micro ACE. My only caution would be to stay away from Grado MM carts because they can hum on Rega tables.
I second the Dynavector recommendation. Absolutely musical in an RB 300. Available in high & low outputs - but some say the low outputs sound a little better, if you have the correct preamp for them. I have no real experience in that, I've only used the low outputs, and have been very pleased. Dynavector is one of the true bargains in Hi-fi. Check out the info at: http://dynavector-systems.com/dynavector/ A 20X-H or 20X-L should be magical for you. Good Luck! Ed
