moving coil

Hi, Are MC cartridges prone to damage in shipping such that ground loops in otherwise fine systems become common, or is it me? I recently bought my first MC cartridge, Rega Ania Pro, to replace an Exact II. I mounted the Ania Pro, changed the JC3+ back pannel setting to MC 50-500 ohms...

I'm thinking about snagging one of these to try on my VPI Prime with the 10.5 aluminum unipivot arm. Seems like it might be a sleeper at this price point. Currently using a middle age Ortofon Black, but I purchased a Fosgate Signature phono pre and I'm itching to try a moving coil as it's...

By using LTC SPICE you can check this odd circuit out. I does work well but the PSU must be very low noise and very well regulated.
