Zyx Universe. O.24 mv vs .48 mv with low eff spkrs

I have a dilema

My Zyx Universe .24mv cartridge appears to be loosing its suspension characteristics. I believe an arm bearing not moving freely put too much wear on it.

I have 84 db speakers and have to crank at pretty high levels to get my volume up far enough to resolve things.

I know a .24 mv is going to have slightly more resolution and speed but woud I be better going with the .48 and having less stress on the amplification and higher output volumes?

I haven't heard the UniII, but having heard the Uni in Doug's system, I can only imagine how good it is. Now go out there and get some speakers that are designed for that kind of an amp...look out!!!! You may not be getting much sleep for a while.

Audiotomb- Never heard the Daedalus at any length but I know Almarg loves his. Enjoy. And don't miss any live music to listen to the hifi. It's great fun but it's not the real thing, as I am sure you know.
