Concept cartridge upgrade?
Has anyone moved up in terms of cartridges while using the Clearaudio Concept package?
I am happy with my Concept MC, but have considered trying a Sumiko Blackbird next go around... Had one before when I was running a VPI Scout and really loved the warm yet detailed sound. Plus it is a higher output MC so I could lower the gain setting on my Moon 310LP phono stage for even lower noise. |

I am a bit limited in my phono pre options, as I have my analog rig in a separate room away from the main system and require balanced operation to allow for longer XLR runs to my preamp. And I preferred to stay under the $2K mark if possible. The 310LP was $1900 so it fit the bill perfectly for me. |

Noise levels are very, very low with my current 310LP while running at 66db of gain in balanced mode with the concept MC, but realize that S/N ratios specs will only improve if I am able to lower the gain needed. What impedance settings are fellow Concept MC users running with their phono preamps? I currently have mine set at 100 ohms. Though I have had a tough time finding recommendations on this subject...
