RE: Which cartridge? nt

You would need about 40-50db of gain total including the line stage.

Has anyone measured the gain of the stock preamp?

I just looked at this schematic. That thing should have plenty of gain.

Or are you only using the phono stage? If so, do you have a line stage following it? If so there should be plenty of gain.

Maybe there is something not working right with the stock unit?

Edit, I found this "The phono preamp section is more than adequate; it has enough gain and low enough noise, too, to handle very low-output cartridges without transformers"
