Benefit of low output moving-iron Grado ?
The Master is a $1000 dollar cartridge. What Grado are you talking about? I thought you said Sonata low and high output!

Benefit of low output moving-iron Grado ?
A stylus has about a 2000 hour life span so you do the math! The lower output Grado has less windings and your preamp might not have enough gain.You would have to find out the input sensitivity of your phono(.5mv or less)to make sure the lower out... 
Recommend an Entry Level Turntable
Check out Denon DP300F or Pro-ject Deput both under $500 with Ortofon 2m cartridge. Needledoctor sells both!

Are Rodgers ls3/5a as good as advertise? & Why
$300 tops,are you kidding? Take a look at Ebay and you will see a few pairs for sale! There are bids over $1800 and one has an asking price of $6000. Spicas are not in the same class! Remember we are talking about a cult item!

Subwoofer for Beginner
How much do you want to spend? Check out the SVS-SB-1000 at $499 free shipping and 45 day return policy. My friend has one and it is excellent and it has a real small footprint. Go for it ! 
Rogue Audio Cronus Question

Help ? I don't want to get ripped off
BTW I owned them over 30 years ago and they were $600 new!
