I certainly agree with the recommendation of the Grado Statement Reference in a high output model. I also have a MK4 TT with a classic Grado Signature arm; this cartridge sounds fantastic with this combo. Surface noise is so extremely low; it's just amazing. I have my VTA set such that the cartridge body is almost exactly parallel to the record, maybe just slightly negative, depending upon variables.
Analogue Upgrade Help.
I have a VPI MK4/SME-309 using a Cary SLP98P (moving magnet) preamp. I want to upgrade to a Lyra Helikon (even an SL if that makes sense).
Should I have the Cary converted to MC or should I purchase an AcousTech PH-1, EAR or other comparably priced phono pre-amp.
Do these phono preamp selections preclude the Helikon SL cartridge model selection.
Does my TT/Arm combination preclude the Lyra Helikon or the SL upgrade from a practical perspective.
