Hi all, looking for your sage advice.
Currently considering cartridge options to upgrade from a Clearaudio MM. Turntable is a Clearaudio Concept (not the "wood" model).
I am using the inbuilt phono stage on my Plinius 9200, which is switchable between low and high gain, but doesn't have adjustable loading. Relevant specs from its manual are:
Input sensitivity: 1.5 mV RMS on low gain, 0.75 mV RMS on high gain
Input impedance: 47 K Ohm
Budget is up to about $800, but could potentially be stretched a little
