    +1 for the AT33Sa. Awesome cartridge and easy to recommend.

    I only skimmed the page for OP's preamp, but seems it only supports high-output MCs? Which would take the OC9XML off the table.

    For those of you recommending Hana SL/SH, does it track OK? I have a used Hana EL and I have heard the tracking limitations. But Hana's spec sheet says all of their carts track at 70um, even the $1200 micro line!? https://static1.squarespace.com/sta...R_ML_SL_EL+Specification_Comparison_Chart.pdf

    Upgrade turntable/tonearm for something more adjustable, and more MC friendly. The MC will perform better with those items better. Enjoy what you have within what it does well. It's decent. Nothing wrong with decent.

    I has 60dB or 63dB gain which is fine for the OC9XML.
