Dear @pbnaudio : Now I understand the davey post. You are rigth that was never a to serious issue.
Good active SS designs is all what we need for very LOMC cartridges like some of the Ortofon models but even through top SUTs its quality level performance is second to none.
I used the MC2000 with excellent results even that's output level is only 0.05mv ! !
Always is an advantage to have wire winding coils at minimum especially there because as more length on the coil wires as more degradation can comes.
Obviously that does not exist a perfect cartridge and Ortofon are not, always exist trade-offs but if the main target in a cartridge design is a little different from busine$$ then designers looks for a better equilibrium as Ortofon that in its top LOMC cartridges never choosed for a little higher output.
Rigth now I'm enjoying my re-borns special MC 3000MK2 with an output level 0.125mv and its quality performance is just gorgeous where we almost can't ask for more and this is an Ortofon vintage design older than the one you name it and better than the 70. My special 3000MK2 can even the performance of the MC A90 and surpass easily the very good Jubilee or the 7500.
Regards and enjoy the MUSIC NOT DISTORTIONS,
R.
