Is 57db gain enough for Dynavector XX-2?

Thanks for chimming in with your responses. I completely forgot about tube rush however I think it's really quiet now.
I mentioned in another post that I am also looking into the Sumiko Celebration as an alternative althought it has more compliance than the Dyna, for my ET tonearm. The Sumiko sounds user friendly and preamp friendly as well, however I'm not sure how the two would compare.
I am very partial to one dealer here in town and my options are:
Benz
Sumiko
Dynavector
The Dyna, caused me to think twice as some of the reviews suggest that it is extremely quiet and tracks well, hopefully relieving the "end of record distortion" that occasionaly nips me in the butt with my current Benz Gold.
If anyone can offer a comparison of the two cartridges please jump in.
Many thanks

Dear Alun: Like I always say in this forum: the Sumiko Celebration is the " century bargain cartridge ", hands down your other options and many top cartridges out there.

Why don't tell us before that the Celebration was one of your options?. Great one.

Regards and enjoy the music.
Raul.

Thanks Raul, thats a very positive note from "The Cartridge Man" great system by the way.

I like the looks of this cartridge but am concerned about detial retrieval as it doesn't use the popular Line Contact stylus. Also it isn't as low a compliance as the Dynavector, but it may not be that critical between 10 and 12 dyne.

I listened to the Benz LP Ebony for a bit and although it was really smooth I didn't find it tracked all that well. I think it still needed some tlc in setup. My Benz gold on ET tonearm tracked better but was a bit more aggressive sounding. BIG difference in dollar.

Thanks

I can't comment on the Benz, but as an XX-2 user, I can tell you that it is a very quiet tracker. On a nimble arm, it can deal with some pretty messed up vinyl. That damn end of record distortion still pops up every once in a while though.

Sorry to hijack the this thread but on the otherside of the question, can too much gain from a high output cart damage the pre-amp or is only too little gain that causes the damage?
