Sdcampbell,
I quite agree about the Shure V15VxMR. It's a good cartridge. Considering the price it's a GREAT cartridge.
Unfortunately Krazeeyk's dad doesn't have a V, he has a IV. Different can o' worms.
Until Krazeeyk returns to further enlighten us, lets combine your suggestion with Ozzy62's or Marakanetz's:
- Return the Creek for the MM model (if possible) OR,
- change the input resistors to 47Kohms AND,
- trade the V15IV for a V15VxMR ($200 or so).
No MC I've ever heard of will come close to that setup on that budget. Just need to be sure the tonearm is right for the cartridge. The Shure V's are pretty tolerant but who knows?
