Dear @jdodmead : The T2000 made it expressely for the MC2000 goes from 8hz to 150khz ( -3db at 4hz. ) and weigths around 4k.
Ortofon was whom puts in the comercial market the first LOMC cartridge and certainly they knew exactly why that so very low output in the MC2000 and additional they knew how try to degrade the less the cartridge signal in those vintage times.
I own one of the best SUT ever that's the Denon AU-1000 that goes from 5hz to 200khz and weigths around 12 kg. Even today along the Technics exist no single SUT that can even its high quality performance levels. No, don't look to this Denon because has not the rigth gain for your MC2000.
That FR XG-5 was a FR entry level SUT in 1983 and weigths around 1 kg and certainly its frequenci range to limited but even the FR vintage top of the line in those years were an inferior SUTs design.
Always exist stupid people that knows nothing about and that talks only because they have a mouth but the audio world have people of all kind of knowledge/ignorance levels .
Regards and enjoy the MUSIC NOT DISTORTIONS,
R.
