Yes the gain is slightly lower than 39dB, it works best with high output MM, greater than 5mV... Also AT is not a good match on my...

You're right... Thin is a qualitative description. I'l try to define the best I can. First of all, I want to carify: I'm not speaking...

In this case could you explain why my AT sounds thin and almost bass-less at 50pF?

Low capacitance makes sound flatter, if the cart is on the bright side of the spectrum (and it is the case of the AT)... It will sound...

You're not answering... What are you measuring here? Which cart? Any cart has a different response, so where you see a peak you could...

And this is referred to what? Constantly observed measuring what? ;)

Not a general rule at all... It depends from the "starting point". Above some values trebles are rolled off.

Normally to which cart? Do you have these stages and the AT? :)

Not quite... :) Here we're taliking about the contribution of the phono stage. The cart, the tonearm, the mat, the platter, even the...

Which cart are you using? The Fosi sounds towards the bright side, at least with AT carts of the VM series and tends to brighten my M75...

The issues I experienced were not in sound reproduction, I'm glad you've found a fine unit. You're using a Concorde-like DJ cart as far...
