cartridge for rega 25,Sonic Frontiers SFP-1

Mike Fremer (the stereophile analog guy) commented that you should try and stay with rega cartridges with rega players. I guess the cartridges are built to fit the non-adjustable arms. I've heard both the exact and the super elys (my cartridge) with the rega 25 in several systems. Superb sound. The exact does sound a little better.

The Clearaudio Aurum Beta S is considerably better than the standard Beta for only $100 more. It works well in the Rega 600 arm which comes with the Planar 25.

Thanks to all for the input. If I were to go with the Benz micro glider, which output should I get, L2( .3mV), M2(.8mV), or H2(2.5mV)? The SFP-1 has an MC gain of 57dB.

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.
