Replace a 0.5 mV Grado Reference Sonata 1 for a Dynavector-DV20X2-H 2.8 mV ???
Its night and day difference, I own both these cartridges (my 20x2 is a Low) and going from the low output (.5) to a HOMC will be like your system woke up! You will have plenty of gain. I agree you were steered wrong using a low output grado with ...

mc602
NONE...these amps don't require anything, that's why you'll be able to give it to your son and he can give it to his! they are battleships! The only thing is the lights on the front, I'm not sure if they made a LED kit for this amp, ask audio clas...
