Answer: The Eroica LX is a good cartridge, and is perfectly compatible with the Project X2. We would also recommend considering the Pro-Ject Phono Box DS2, as it features great adjustability for gain and cartridge loading for you to experiment with.
Answer: The nominal output of the 1042 is 5 mV and an acceptable minimum input level to an amplifier to get full output is around 300 mV therefore, the gain needs to be at least x60 or 35 dB. A gain of 40 dB will therefore be perfect as it will ...
Answer: We very much like the sound of Musical Fidelity phono pre-amps. They measure very flat which is important and have low noise and distortion – in short, they won’t get in the way of the sound of the cartridge at all. Budget dependant, we would ...
