Interesting -- two responses, and contradictory. ;-)
I've heard about the 500mV target. But I see the KAB calculator is targeting 375mV.
I understand that a .25mV cart "will work" with a 62dB (375mV target) gain phono pre -- but will a 72dB phono stage (500mV target) be "better" in some way (and why)? Or will I be cranking the dial on a 62dB phono in ways that would be suboptimal?
