Will this work with a moving coil cartridge? I have an Ortofon X5 MC cartridge. Also what is the difference in a pre amp for a moving magnet and moving coil? Thank you.

I have a moving magnet turntable (Technics SL-Q202 w/ an Ortfon 20 stylus) Also have a B & O RX2 which needs a new belt but works with this preamp. This preamp works great with my Pioneer Elite VSX-21TXH Receiver. Check out needledoctor.com and there is some info on moving magnet vs. moving coil. Hope this helps! Cheers, Justin.

r.k. says: I received my induction burner today. Even though a magnet was not attracted to my Yosemite coffee pot it worked on the induction burner. Evidently there is some stainless that is not magnetic that will still work with induction.

i actually use another rca line input and use the pre amp from my turntable with an in line booster (between turntable and 5000) and it works much better than the phono input on the 5000. i was getting a humming noise using phono input. your setup might be different though. either way my vinyl sounds awesome now!

Hi There, Unfortunately Im not sure what other needles will work on that particular cartridge. Im using the ortolan pro stylus. If it looks like it could work you could buy and return. I have done that move before with other cartridges. Good luck,

With a stock 12AX7 preamp tube it starts pushing into overdrive at about 1/3 of a turn. I have replaced mine with a groove tube 12AU7 and it is clean for 3/4 of the gain/volume control.I highly recommend this amp... just try a few tube types or a Jet City Retrovalve to see all that this amp can do.

I used the Audio Technica on my 40 year old Dual turntable and it works well. I had some difficulty attaching the wires from my Dual tonearm to the universal cartridge adapter as the pins on the adapter were a little bit large, but I finally got them attached. The sound from the AT cartridge is excellent.

Thanks for your question. This amazing sounding receiver is set up for moving magnet. To use a moving coil you would need to use moving coil step-up transformer.

Yes for magnetic cartridges only. If you have a moving coil or moving magnmet cartridge you will need a head amp to boost the signal. It pays to try it first before you buy a head amp to see how much gain you have.

Broader side of M, I think, though it has been several years since I've been able to use the ones I own, because I left them in the car one hot day and their converter cartridges warped in the heat and became forever unusable. I haven't been able to find replacements. Some "universal" converters I bought and tried didn't work, and I've never found a source of Bulow pen supplies or a way to communicate with the company.

You should not need a pre-amp if you have a PHONO input on your receiver. That input is usually amped to RIAA specs and will play your signal from your magnetic cartridge. If you find that the sound output from your turntable is very low, you will need a pre-amp. If your turntable has one built-in, turn it on. Otherwise just buy a stand alone pre-amp and hook your turntable into it and then the pre-amp into your receiver.

As far as I know, Ortofon styli are only for Ortofon cartridges. It seems only logical that if you have an Audio Technica cartridge, then you will need to use an Audio Technica stylus.

Honestly I'd go with the Rolls solid state pre-amp filter and not the passive like I have - I'm going to have to call Rolls and to see what's the best device to boost the input signal into the passive filter - I'm getting excellent sound but I want more volume when using the G5 - for most people it would be more than loud enough - it's really a simple fix of having a good pre-amp - I see what your doing - all I can say is I'm not having your problem with my set up - you need to make sure your signal is clean

Unlike line level audio sources like DVD/CD players, tape decks, FM tuners, mini disc, etc., which have output voltages anywhere from 0.7V to 2.5V, the output voltage from a magnetic cartridge installed in a turntable is very low (2-5mV), and requires additional amplification. This additional amp stage, the phono pre amp, was built into most older receivers and audio amplifiers, allowing direct connection of a turntable. However, since the CD entered the market (early 1980's), the vinyl records and turntables were declared obsolete. Audio equipment manufacturers slowly phased the phono pre amp out. Newer stereo equipment, including most mini-systems and home theater units, have no magnetic cartridge phono input. In order to connect a turntable, you need to first pass the signal thru a phono RIAA equalization pre amp.

Yes. A record player (turntable) that uses a cartridge with a stylus that generates electricity via a moving magnet (or moving coil) requires a separate pre-amp (with RIAA/NAB equalization) for the phono circuit before plugging into a line level input such as on this unit.

A very good moving magnet cartridge with Diamond stylus. Easily replaced with just about any type of cartridge. You can also change the headshell.

It seems that XP 310 will reject at least some of the generics. I'm experimenting with the ink and the printer does not seem to recognize the new cartridge. We shall see how it pans out later... One thing for sure is that this does not seem to be plug-n-play. :(

I got the 651 specifically for a moving coil cartridge and it works great for the money.
